Shari ann offered some good advice; try telling some friends first and build up your support system.

You would be surprised how parents "know" things about their kids even though they may not show it. I just kept on dropping hints about my new friends and their sexual orientation until one day my brother just asked me about myself and I replied "YES." and they said we love you.. now go see a therapist... hahahha Never got to therapy and there is love all around.. Good luck and be strong... To: IN THE CLOSET: I hope that you are able to at least come out to your friends and that you belong to a gay group so that you have some sort of support.
