Almost everyone who knows me knows I am a lesbian. My brother found out because he saw me kissing another girl at school; he was surprised, but it didn't bother him. However I think he is the only member of my family that knows. I never told my mother, father, or grandparents - if they found out from someone else, they have never said anything to me about it or given any sign. But I am comfortable with my sexuality, and so I have no fear telling people that I have a girlfriend instead of a boyfriend. It's who I am, and if someone is going to be my friend, then they must accept that that is a big part of my life that I will never change.

I *still* haven't told my parents. But when/if you do, and if they start taking it badly, you should tell them that nothing about you has changed - you are still the same person you always were, that they are just learning something new about you. You didn't become a lesbian the instant that you tell them :) I think that if they can realize that it isn't a *choice* that they can blame you for making, then you will be fine. Good luck!!!

i have told my friends and my cousins know also some of my other family members might know.. my parents do not and i am not sure about my brothers. i'm out to pretty much everyone but them.. i'm just not ready to tell them yet. i know my parents will still love them. they have asked me before if i was gay. but i said no.. or just played it off because i wasn't ready. i don't know when or if i'll ever be ready either. i don't want to cause them that disappointment. but i also can't change or help who i am and who i love.

I found out that I am a les when I was in grade school. I usually tell my friends that I'm a les. I got my strength maybe because I know there are numbers of lesbians in our school. I tried telling my mom that i do have a girlfriend back in forth yr high school, it seems that it's okay with her, she even let my girlfriend enter our house but when my dad came from abroad, my mom suddenly changed her views on lesbians, she together with my dad became mad at me. But still I fought for who I am. To make the long story short, my current relationship now is 5 yrs & 4 months, my parents knew about it & they finally accepted me. My girlfriends can now eat with my family. My advice is for you to be honest to your loved ones, Because if you won't do that, you are not honest with yourself. If you are not ready yet, that takes time. Wait for the right time to come out of your shell.
