Make Sure You’re Ready:
Ask - am I ready to come out? Chances are if you’re reading this then the answer’s probably ‘uh, yeah!’ If you’re still a bit unsure though, remember that there is absolutely no rush and it’s OK to not come out. There are some questions you can ask yourself if you’re still unsure:
- Is this something I would like to do right now?
- Is it safe for me to come out?
- Do I have any support?
It's OK To Change Your Mind:
Your identity is your own, and coming out is a continuous process. If you’re unsure about your sexuality or gender identity, it’s OK to say “Hey - I’m gay” and later on update people that you’re actually bisexual.
Find Support If You Can:
Telling the first person can sometimes be the biggest step, but having a friend or family member who can be there for you whenever you need help and can make things heaps easier. It’s also amazing to have that person to bounce ideas off and to celebrate with when things go well. The support doesn’t always have to come from someone you know in person; there are heaps of online communities, blogs, and videos out there that you can access from people who are going through the same thing as you.
Test the Waters:
You can sometimes test a person’s reaction by bringing up a topic on sexuality or gender with someone first. Seeing their reaction to LGBTIQ news, media or celebrities can give you an insight into those topics without outing yourself first.
It doesn't have to be in person, you could link to this sort of thing on social media as well. If you want to be more direct, you can ask questions about a made-up scenario
How You Do It Is Up To You:
How big or small is up to you. Some people come out via Facebook posts, others do it face to face or over coffee. Some people make a huge celebration of it, others decide to be more subtle.
If Things Don’t Go Great:
We can’t promise you that it’ll go exactly as planned, so it’s useful to have a plan in case they don’t. Having a backup plan can help make the process a little less daunting. Hopefully, you won’t need it! But having it can give you peace of mind.
Remember to reach out if you need help. There’s a bunch of people you can talk to for extra support, and you can check them all out here.
