"Hey, what would you say if

"Hey, what would you say if I said I was gay?

I'd freak out.

Oh. I'm gay, by the way."

"Wow, that guy is CUTE"

"I'm gay as hell."

I had told my best friend earlier that there was something really important I needed to tell her, you know, to prepare her. Then she said.. I'd still love you if you were a lesbian. randomly. I left.
so I called her that night, and it took a lonnnng time with a bunch of metaphors. haha. like arrows and happy paths and stuff. :) but she guessed it, of course. and everything was a lot better.

good luck!

I was kinda like hey I'm gay

I was kinda like hey I'm gay just to let you guys know. And they were cool with it. Sometimes saying it straight out (ha ha sorry) is the best approach.

Um, when I was younger

I just ranted for hours about how much I hated boys until my friends asked me if I was ever going to date one, or if I was a lesbian, and that was that... you know how I answered.

for me... it was a lot of

for me... it was a lot of tears, and "i'm.. gay" for most of them.
for others, "hey, you know how you asked who i like? well, her name is..."
and, of course, for my bestest friend, we were in the middle of a conversation and i blurted, "i like girls" or "i'm gay" halfway through a sentence.

for my first two friends i

for my first two friends i came out to, i drew the bi symbol on my hand and i asked them "you know what this symbol means?" having it there gave me the strength to tell them. of course, now i don't know *what* i am, but that's entirely a different story.

Err...

If you drew the bi symbol and showed it to me, I wouldn't know what it was either...

Since I'm in Thailand now, it's kind of fun telling new people you're gay on a regular basis, when back home it's a known quantity. Of course, it's not a big deal what strangers would think anyway, but everyone has been fine.

usually...

...it comes to light with something along the lines of, "well, there's this girl I like..."

Although, on various occasions, I have come out directly ("I'm gay"), by asking friends what they'd think if I wanted to date girls, by leading into it with something that's been happening (e.g. Prop 8), and, on one memorable occasion, during a game of Truth or Dare. (That was to my absolute best friends, though — I'd been wanting to let the cat out of the bag and just happened to have the chance. They were totally cool with me, but I don't recommend that method under normal circumstances! :-) )
