What is the best way to come out without making them hate me?

Own it. Be proud of it. Present it like you are announcing that you got accepted to Harvard Medical School. "Mom, Dad....I have some amazing news. I'm (insertsexualityhere)." If they don't respond positively, they're idiots. Incidentally, you should be careful. If you are financially dependent on them, it might be best to wait with coming out until you are in a place where if they do respond badly, you won't be homeless five minutes later.

Don't hate yourself to start off with! Your sexuality is a part of you, and not a reason for shame. Sometimes if we have some news to impart that we don't think is going to be well received, we can become defensive. This approach can prompt the other person to also feel combative. So try a gentler approach. Actually, you don't owe anyone an explanation, but be sensitive to how parents for example may have long held expectations of their son or daughter's future, gaining a son or daughter in law, becoming a grandparent. Your sexuality doesn't necessarily change any of those outcomes, but it's just a slightly different image to perhaps the preconceived one. Just as it's taken you time to come to terms with your sexuality, friends and family may also need time to adjust. Be respectful of that, but in return expect to receive respect back. You're doing nothing wrong by being honest about who you are. It's your life to lead, no one else's.

Start by telling one person, preferably a close friend who you know would support you through anything. If you know your family will be supportive you can start by telling them next. Explain to them the story of how you have come to realize your sexuality. It will be hard if someone won't accept you the way you are but if they can't come to terms with it then they aren't such a good friend.

Coming out is never an easy thing to do. It is something that is very personal, and very important. A good rule of thumb is to not come out until you're ready, and don't come out so someone who you don't feel comfortable coming out to. If there is a risk of physical or emotional abuse from a parent or friend, it would probably be best to talk to a school councilor or therapist. There is no "best way" to come out, and everybody handles it differently. Some people view it as wrong, or sinful. Some people will support you 100%, but there is no guarantee. If somebody takes you coming out badly, it may be a good idea to let them have some space and think it through. A lot of the time, they will warm up to it. Although some people just need time, there are people out there who just won't accept it. They don't understand it. Sometimes that is just inevitable. The best thing to do with people like that is to sit them down and try to talk to them about it. Hear them out, and ask them to do the same to you. Maybe you will come out agreeing to disagree, but at least you've come to a good understanding. Coming out can be scary, and is the cause of a lot of anxiety for a lot of people. The main thing is to remember that you are not alone. There are so many people out there who are going through the same things you are. People are here for you and love you and support you. Don't let the few who don't get you down. Hope this helped. Good luck!

There's no way to predict this for sure. However, it could help to start by coming out to the people closest to you and/or those who are more supportive of the LGBT realities. If you're not sure who could be supportive, you can try discussing the LGBT topic with some of them to check their opinions. Be yourself and explain why and how you started questioning and came to your final conclusion, how you feel, what it means to be like you. If you open their heart and let them know what this journey has been like, maybe some of them will be more likely to be empathetic! Make sure they also know you'll be there to answer their questions and help them understand you better, if they want to.

Unfortunately, no one has control over the reactions people get from the people they come out to. If they care about you, love you, and respect you, they will accept you just the way you are, regardless of your sexual orientation.

No one should ever hate you for who you are and how you feel. If it is family you are worried about, they love you and they will accept you. Everyone may not at first, but they will always come around. I struggled with this too and it is tough. You can always message me if you'd like to talk! :)

First, just do it when you are sure you want to. Dont do it because you feel like you have to. Then, explain to them what you feel is not wrong, is what you are and you are just fine like this

If you think you are in any danger when coming out then wait. There is no certain way to come out and make sure people don't hate you, people hate other people you can't change their mind by doing something a certain way

To be honest, this depends on who you're coming out to. Personal experience varies greatly depending on the individual, but it's important to ensure that you first feel comfortable with coming out - wait until you're ready, and choose to come out in the way that best suits you and your situation.
