Should I Come Out Of The Closet?!

That's really up to you.

You need to consider if your mentally capable of being rejected. I know some of us have very liberal and understanding parents but not everyone has the same luck. I came out to my mom one year ago this month and I was so happy that she was so accepting. She told me that her love for me was unconditional and nothing can change that. Not everyone will be that way. There will people that will be disappointed; your family tends to create certain expectations of you: date your opposite gender, get married, and have children. That's the social norm. They might become cold and confused by what you are telling them. I won't lie, disappointment might be inevitable and perhaps to the point that they'll be angry. You need to keep in mind that you are doing this to be yourself. To not have to hide who you are to them. Never betray yourself, and as much as you love your family and/or friend it's not worth it if they want you to be something you are not. If you live with your family, there will also be a chance that they might kick you out. I have met gay youth that have been kicked out of their homes. If that happens, I hope your city has gay youth centers that can help you out. You'll survive regardless of what happens. This won't be the end of anything. It'll be the beginning of your liberation.

Do what's best for you. If you feel prepared, do it. You might be pleasantly surprised by people.

the gay one?

The lycanthropic one.

In my case, I never felt the need to come out. I always was me, and have never talked about it with my parents.... I don't know if they know or not... I do kinda wanna tell my sister, but I'm not sure yet...she's kinda young to discuss this with her.


BUT, i know a lot of freinds who have had great experiences with their families.... it seems like things are awkward at first but later everything gets better...most of them have told me that they feel free and very good after they come out!
So, if you want to do so...go ahead! But happygolucky is right, maybe prepare yourself and make sure you have thick skin.

Hey cynic, come out of the closet if you think it's time. You've probably gone over the scenarios a million times but when it's finally time, it'll feel great. It's a big anti climatic shenanigan... like the first time you get head and it's alright but then you realize, when it's done, that it's better than alright....
Anyways, I came out to my mother about 5 years ago. I didn't plan it but a few days before Thanksgiving, I was jacking off in the shower and I wasn't even thinking about coming out but when I saw my mom sitting at the table eating some tacos con nopales, I just blurted "I need to tell you something" There was no escape now. She could see I was nervous as hell but she assured me that whatever I did, she wouldn't be angry. So I said it, I'm a fag and she weeped softly. I felt like such a failure... making my hardworking mother cry over my lustful kinky urges. Who would have known that her taco dinner would turn into the worst day of her life.
I used to wonder if that was the best last nopales taco she'd ever taste. I've ruined nopales forever! But that wasn't the case. It took months of nocturnal weeping, church gatherings, exorcisms and interrogations but it finally became another part of our lives. It's as if I've lost a leg and we don't talk about it. Instead we try to move on and realize that it's not the end of the world. I remember last time I saw her, about 7 years ago, she was cooked nopales con sebollas y bistek and i felt a little sad because it was as if ... all the sadness was for nothing.

p.s. cynic you better be a fag cus in the other thread you were preggers.

Some people are pregnant gay men. Who are we to judge?

Regardless, this could be useful to some dreamers who are thinking about coming out of the closet.

I'm just calling cynic out on his trolling before this turns into another ridiculous abortion/religion thread. That fool is doing it for the lulz. I'm definitely not judging, I wanna have kids some day too

This confused me I came out of the closet about being a dreamer some time ago and I feel so much better it's like you can bread..

If its about bing gay i'm sure it's the same...
