Ive liked girls for as long as I can remember but living in a small town ive been pressured into thinking i should be with a guy. the only guy ive ever fallen for or even liked for that matter is as much of a girl, emotionally, as i am. I like my best friend who is sadly very much straight. Something about guys just grosses me out especially their "lower" regions YUCK! its taken me years but ive come to terms with the fact that i like girls. Im ready to come out to everyone that i like girls because i want to find someone i can connect with & stuff but im not sure how in a small town like mine....any advice?

You could start a LGBT club in your school or community, but that might depend on what kind of attitude your community has towards homosexuality and things that are often considered "not normal".

If you don't think you will get a positive reception from other people, you could come out to your parents and/or close friends to start with, or someone you feel comfortable around. Then you can come out to more people once you're out of high school or are in post secondary school, etc.

Start slow is all I can tell you. I was raised in a small town, and my best friend and I fell in love. I wish you the best not to end up like we did!

I would come out to your closest family member first. The first person I came out to was my uncle, and he had the added bonus of living out of town. If they react okay, consider coming out to other members slowly and gently.

The biggest thing is not to do it in anger, lest they think you're trying to punish them because you aren't. Its not who you are... but some families/parents will not see it that way. So just be gentle.

Try and come out to friends who seem more likely to accept you no matter what. I came out to a very homophobic friend when I was thirteen, we're 20 now and still friends. At first they might be shocked and want nothing to do with you... but if they're truthfully you're friend they will come back and be at your side, even if they are cold about it at first.
