Well, I'm in a very similar situation....I'm out to my best friend, and I'm waiting for the best time to come "fully" out.... For, me, I'm not really sure my community will accept it. My town has about 250 people, with a huge percentage of "born again" christians. I'm not sure what the response to my coming out will be! Overall right now, things in my life are going ok, I have some good freinds, I'm involved in a tonne of activities and I get to travel quite a bit. I'm not sure I want to risk it all right now. I know my true friends will stick with me, but I don't need the school on my back. As for you.... coming out is a completely personal disision. Think it out carefully.don't worry, it will work out for the bestDerrick!

The biggest single factor which spurred me to come out was the fact that I realised it to be inevitable. I knew I couldn't live a lie or have a secret life so I decided to tell my most religious friend first and she reacted really well, so I thought, to hell with it, and told everyone (including my parents) in about two weeks, which was good timing because my mother became really ill and died a month later.
The inevitability of it is actually very empowering. It gives you time to get advice, think carefully and plan. There is no need to rush into these things as I did, although I've never had a bad reaction to it yet!
Good luck to both of you!
