    I've never come out to anyone. Ever. One day, I was emailing my friend, and I just kind of...exploded. She's totally accepting and alwayd stands up for gay rights - but she had no self esteem and is pretty much suffering from deppression. I didn't specifically say "Hi I'm lesbian!" but this is mostly how it went:
    Subject: Come on!

    Look, *friend name*, stop calling yourself ugly and fat! I know you're not! You are like a sister to me and I love you and it makes me sick to see you so depressed! And I know you're not ugly because I seriously only admire girls (....)

    Yeaaah. Wierd way to come out, right?:confused: But I did it, and that's what matters! And she was totally fine with it! Just "Aatu, I don't care if you like girls."(*hug*) Now if only my parents were accepting. Well, now I think I might come out to my second-best friend...we'll see how that goes down. But at least I managed to get out to someone!:grin:

    The first one is always the hardest! :slight_smile: I'm super proud of you. Once you start getting the hang of coming out and getting comfortable with it it'll be a piece of cake. :wink:
