    Hi,
    I come from a religious Indian family. So I can relate to how you feel. For me, I have come out to some of my friends. Really close ones that I knew I could trust. And it helped, since I felt I could be more honest with them. As for my family........I have recently come out to my brother. It was hard but worth it. The way I did it was he jokingly said I was gay. And later on the bus home I sent him a text saying I am gay. And at first he was confused since he couldn't tell whether I was fooling around or being honest. But once he understood, he was slightly shocked but really supportive. It made me feel a lot better to be honest with him. We were never super close but this helped us get closer. I am really happy to hear your in a happy relationship with someone! That is good you have each other to support. Even though my family is religious and when I do come out it will be hard. I know that they love me and it is the initial wave that is the hardest to ride. But hopefully it gets smoother after that (I hope). I hope my experiences have helped you in some way. Best of luck!! :slight_smile:
