    So I'm gay. And as I write this, my sister is sitting next to me. Tonght (like the previous 5 Friday nights) was the night I tell her that I'm gay. However I just can't bring myself to do it. I mean I know she will be fine. But I honestly cannot be bothered with the awkwardness and all the questions. How can I bypass this avoidance?? I hate awkward conversations so I'm avoiding it at all costs.

    Might I add she will be one of the first members of my family to come out to. But I'm
    Not scared, I literally am avoiding the awks.

    Can't I just text it to her?

    You can. But don't you think she'll appreciate it if you tell her in person?
    You could just start the conversation by saying you want to tell her something important and ask her to not make things embarassing.
    Also ask her to let you finish speaking before she responds.

    why not just wait for the subject to arise, say one day you're discussing marriage plans and you say "when i marry a man...", just like that, casually?
