    I've been pretty open to people online about being a lesbian for the past 1-2 years, but people in real life never knew, except for one person. I went to afterellen.com and they had a list of funny ways to come out. I chose one that mentioned making a cake and writing "i'm gay" on it. So I bought one, some icing, some candles, and got to work.

    I walked into my moms office with a cake shining from all of the candles and told her to blow out the candles and look at the cake.

    "You're gay?"
    "Yup"
    "Ok"
    -Walks out of the office-

    We haven't really talked about it since then, but she's ok with it, so I guess that's good!

    I also posted pictures of the cake on facebook.

    Next step is coming out to my dad.

    Yay you took the next step!!! That's a fun way to come out. Next time I come out to someone (probably my grandparents on my dad's side next) I'll have to think of something clever. :grin:

    I'm glad it worked out for you with your mum and I bet the cake tasted better than anything you've ever had before because it had the flavour of relief.
    I picked number 98, Write a poem. My mums face was priceless. She's still in denial so i'm just gonna have to go with my original plan number 35, invite your girlfriend over to tell them. When I find one that is, when I find one. :/
