I'm out to a few close members of my family, but I don't even know my siblings well and they live in another state. The only contact we ever have is a couple times a year on the phone (if at all) and occasionally on fb. I love them but I'm really intimidated by the idea of coming out to them. It's an irrational fear because I don't think they'll even care. I think it's more of a problem with self-assurance. Anyway, I'm entirely lost on where to begin with coming out to them. I'd like to have this conversation with them soon but given the lack of communication, it's hard for me to imagine that happening anytime soon. Every time I've come out to family, it's been rather awkward, so I'd like to diminish awkwardness as much as I can when having this conversation. Any advice is greatly appreciated :eusa_danc
Have you come out to people before? How did that go? Would you feel better keeping it from then and lying about thing/avoiding certain questions then just telling them and just seeing what happens? Do your parents know, would they support you? If you don't want to tell them on the phone, maybe send an e-mail? Good luck with sorting this out! Luka
personally what difference does it make it they know or not. you said they are distant. Not everyone needs to know you are gay. But if it is really important to you that they know just write them a letter. If they reject you they do. you will get over the hurt and live your life they way you want to,
I've already come out to close family and some friends. The problem is the distance and starting the conversation. I already know I'm ready to be out. I've been ready for a while.
