Who did you come out to first?

I came out to my mom before anyone else. She's my best friend, and I figured if I couldn't tell her, I'd never be able to tell anybody.

 

I never came out to my dad, he heard through the grapevine (my brother). I came out to my mom but she already knew from my sister and i was 4 months hrt and full-time when i finally told her.

 

I told them both at once.

 

I came out to my mom, who then told my dad. (I told her that it was ok to tell him.)

 

Mom

 

I came out to my mom first in October of 2012. I have yet to come out to my dad - I'm really dreading it.

 

I think it was easier, from a male perspective anyway. My dad was and is more judgmental and old school in ideology.

 

Huh, I guess I'm different than some others. If I had come out to one first over the other, it would have been Dad. I came out to both at once because I feared I would hurt my mom by telling my dad first.

I just have a better relationship with my dad though.

 

I haven't told either yet but I imagine I'll tell my Dad first. When I've told him I'll come back and do the poll :icon_bigg

 

the four closest friends of mine because i knew that they would not think of me differently.

 

I haven't come out to either one yet. But, in my head, I'm thinking it will be my mom when I do get to that point.

I came out to my therapist first. Then a friend on FB. And, most recently, my best friend. That's as far as I've gone. My resolution for the year, however, is to come out to my parents by the end of the year.

 

came out to my mom first- because it wasn't really "Im coming out," it was "Am i in?"

I didnt know what i was feeling, and she helped me through it. Honestly, im so grateful to have such a supportive mother

It's been over 6 months and i still haven't told my dad... :/

 

I told my mother first. I dont really know why. My dad is the only person in my family other than me who is openly very supportive of gay rights. I still havent told him yet

 

I came out to several friends and my sister before my parents. I had a couple friends who were incredible in helping my figure it all out!

 

My mother is more laid-back and more accepting of sexualities because she sees that people are people and she also has always reassured me that she would love me unconditionally.

I came out to my mother first because I knew that I couldn't deal with telling them at the same time or telling my father first. My father has that small town mindset you see, and he is more of the "Stereotypical Christian" as some would put it. He always seemed like my best friend growing up cause of my tomboyish ways, but when I hit puberty and started realizing I liked girls his homophobia has pushed me away some and our relationship has suffered. I still haven't come out to him, and am waiting till I at least have a girlfriend until I tell him.
