    I knew she wouldn't care, it went very well. I was just worried about how to bring it up... myheartincheck, why can't you tell your sister? That is a shame :/

    How did you bring it up if you don't mind me asking, like when and where? If you don't mind answering, I've been wanting to come out to my older sister who I know will have no problem with it?

    I actually was planning to go to her house today at noon so I texted her around ten (I prefer non-confrontation when possible) to allow her some time to process and myself to prepare so we could discuss when I got there. I heard somebody suggest baking brownies and writing "I'm gay" on them in rainbow icing, I like that idea too :slight_smile: I am still worried about telling my parents though :/

    Congrats! I've been wanting to tell my sister as well, just can't bring myself to do it, and I know that she'll have no problems with it at all. Weird how that works, huh?

    Thanks all! I am super duper nervous about telling my parents though. I think it made my physically sick today, I was shaking and like sweating and then threw up; I feel like I am hiding myself and I don't want to do that at all. I just am at a loss.

    Well I'm horrible at talking in person so I texted them after I left for piano and said there's no reason you shouldn't know that I like girls and they said we love you always. It feels great to not have to hide most of myself.
