After i was sure i was gay i told my best female friend and she accepted it. I then told the rest of my best friends and they werent botherd. That was the easy bit. It slowly started to go round school thanks to a w****r who i thourt i could trust and then within 3-4 days the whole school knew including teachers so before my family found out by somebody else i decided to tell them. I told my gran at my cuzains party and asked her to tell my mum. My mum started crying nd tellin me to f**k off bt she was ok next day. BUT everybodt thourt i was bi. So bout 3 months ago i told a few female friends im fully gay. And my gran again who told my family. Thats more or less my story lol  xxx

Hehehe mine i did as an essay for english in yr12  I got an A for it
You hear lots of stories of people coming out of the closet, some more interesting then others. Though mine is one of the more dull ones it taught me a valuable lesson. For a while now all my friends had started to place an increasing amount of pressure on me to find a girl friend. Little did they know or suspect I had no intentions of going out with anyone from the opposite sex. I had no interest in the female sex. I had friends trying to set me up with people, people who I knew and people who I didn’t know. Though every time this happened I managed to weasel my way out with out revealing my most well kept secret. After a while I got to the point where keeping the secret was becoming more of a challenge everyday and so I decided it was time to come clean.
I wasn’t too sure on how to go about it though. Like should I come straight out, or shall I just tell a couple of people at a time, or could I tell someone and wait for them to tell everyone else so I could avoid the discomfort of telling every individual person myself. After coming to a final decision on the topic I waited for the perfect opportunity to bear my deepest secret. I decided it would be best to take it slow so first of all I would tell my best friend and only my best friend. After three unsuccessful tried I finally worked up the courage to tell him.
It was on a Friday afternoon one period before I had English my last class for the day. I was sitting in the music room and my Matthew was testing me on my knowledge of intervals. He was sitting in front of the small, badly tuned up right piano with a large smirk on his face knowing that he has found a way to get me to give a wrong answer. I was sitting at the table next to the piano diverting my eyes as so I would be unable to cheat and this already unfair contest. Badly distracted by me working out the best way to tell my best friend that I was gay severely diverted my attention away from working out the right answer. I sat for about twenty minutes playing along with his little game working up my courage. Finally I gathered up every last bit of courage I could scrounge. I could hear the words I was about to mutter in my head, goose bumps started to poke their head up from head to toe I after about ten seconds I was complete covered in them. A small sweat broke out. It got more uncontrollable as the moments leading up to the inevitable drew ever closer. My mouth dried up like a puddle in the Sahara desert. I couldn’t string two words together and then I froze. I completely froze in terror. I sat there in my paralyzed state for what would have been about five seconds however from my point of view it was like an eternity. Then through the small breaths I managed to catch I muttered “Hey man, I’m coming out of the closet… I am gay.”
Matt burst out into an uncontrolled laughter, dismissing the one action that scared me more then anything I had every seen or experienced in my whole life. Feeling open and vulnerable I tried telling him I was and it wasn’t a joke, but he kept dismissing everything I said. After that I gave up on trying to tell for the time being, he managed to get a hold of his laughter and bring it to a halt, then he span back around on the chair he was sitting on in order to continue his testing. The following Monday, I talked to Matthew again about the fact I was gay. This time I got the message through. Though it was odd I felt no fear, no discomfort and most of all no vulnerability. Slowly I told more people but only friends and close ones at that. Family and other people where still out of the question. I had neither the confidence nor self-esteem to tell them. However, I knew that one day I would have to confront them. Though by that time I had told more people and realized it got easier with each person I told. My confidence grew the one fear I held in the ordeal that I would be ridiculed and hated for my ways started to disappear as people only showed acceptance. The world I had seen in Books and T.V. shows where gays where hated and beaten had not existed here. Society was changing before my eyes and I had not noticed. This new view on the world boosted my confidence and allowed me to open the doors of my prisons with pride and ease. Since then I have told everyone close to me friends and family and have been giving nothing but total acceptance.

I've told four people so far. The first was Alex. He's two years below me (in Year 8 now) and near the end of the school year he told me he was gay, so I told him that I was. Then on holiday I told my best friend Ryan, who is bi, my annoying-follower-around-er called James (who is bi aswell, I found out later). Then Ryan talked me into telling my other friend at the caravan site, Jack (straight). No-one took it negatively (yet) and I plan on telling my best friends at school when I get back.         
Happy with a capital ;D

In all honesty, this might seem like an essay, but I feel I should tell someone everything, you know, get all of my thoughts out of my head. Sorry if none of this makes sence.
I've always liked girls, there wasn't ever any confusion for me about that. I always knew that, even if I didn't know the words to express it. Even before a girl kissed me I knew I liked girls. It was always guys that tripped me up and confused me. I never kissed a guy til this year, which defenitly cleared everything up a bit. I've had boyfriends before, I never kissed any of them though. In a relationship with a guy I always got freaked out within the first two weeks. At first I thought it might of been because I had problems with relationships, which in all honesty I do, but now I think it might have been because I never dated anyone I really liked. That's because I never really felt like I liked anyone, sure, I acted hyped up about relationships with guys because that's what I thought girls were suppose to do. But really for the last 15 years of my life I've just ignored any sexual feeling I've ever had. Like if there was a girl I really wanted to kiss, I ignored it. I always told myself it was because I had better things to do. After doing that for years I felt like I had no sexuality, because I started doing that instantly, and that's what I told my friend 2 years ago. I wish I could say I sat down with someone who helped me figure everything, but I never have really. Well, in a way I suppose I did. I was talking to my friend Kevin on the phone, and I told him about everything. How some weeks I felt like I couldn't be attracted to anyone and then how there were some weeks where I liked girls. And I asked him, "How do I know what I am if I can't seem to get anything right?" And he told me not to try to figure it out, that everything would be figured out with time. He told me that last year. And I've been thinking about it ever since then, and I've figured out that I'm me, I love girls, I could never picture myself happy with a guy in a relationship, but still occational think a guy is hot. So I came out to my parents, which felt like it was going to be a bold move right? Wrong, turns out they figured it out years ago. I'm still confused with how they knew  But it's okay, I know a lot of people from my school are confused about me and what i'm attracted to, because I'm foolish and depending on what day who talked to me I would say different things, but I'm me, and I feel that's all that really matters.
ps.
Darn, that was long. I kinda wanted to write more about my emotions through the whole thing rather then others. But in all honesty i'm lucky. I go to a school where people just don't care about others sexuality, my parents will always love me and pretty much don't care if I like guys or gals, and my sisters reaction was along the lines of 'So what?' Heh. But right now I just want to figure out how to ask the girl I like out
