    Coming out to family
    My question is when is it best to come out as gay to family members. Should I wait until I'm in a relationship and explain it then (when I have to and when the issue become more relevant) or should I just tell family members now?

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    When your comfortable with them knowing, and prepared for their reaction. Maybe one at a time and see how it goes.

    I've heard the one-at-a-time approach and I like that. The rationale is that if the second one you tell has a hard time with it you already have another one to fall back on for support (assuming that one is okay with it). Thanks.

    Just remember not all will accept, and some will take time to accept
