    Hi. I'll try to keep this short. I've been in the closet for a few years now. I consider myself Sexually Fluid. I want to come out but I'm just too scared and feel like there's never a time that isn't bad cause my moms always stressed. And my town is full of conservative bigots. Some kids at my school nearly killed a kid for being gay. And I've already come out on a site where no one knows me IRL and I got called many horrible names. But they where only words and I could block the people. But that's not what happens IRL. So I want to come out creatively and in a way where I wont have to say anything initially. Like writing it on a cake or a t-shirt.

    Any advice? :help:

    If it's not safe for you then you shouldn't come out. However, if you think it's safe, I have heard of a lot of people writing letters to come out.

    Thanks. That incident was a couple years back so I feel relatively safe.

    If you're scared you can come out writing a letter, but wwhen your family read it u will have to talk about it so it's the same. But if u can't find the words to say it oout loud that's a great option. Good luck! Always remember that you're not wrong, doesn't matter what ppeople think.
