What's the best way to tell your friends you are homosexual?

You should just tell them outright! If they are your true friends, they will accept you no matter what your sexual preference is!

If you want to come out as gay to your friends, bake them a rainbow cake, cover it in white icing, and write the word "surprise" on it.

You can express your feelings as openly as you can, tell them what it means to be who you are, how you realized you are homosexual. Make sure they know you want to share it with them because they are important to you, and maybe tell them that you believe in your friendship and you're sure they know that nothing changes in the person you are. You can also encourage them to ask you any questions they have about it. Don't worry, just be yourself, real friends will care for you and your happiness only, no prejudice can ruin a real and deep connection.

It starts with telling yourself first, self-awareness and assuredness is the most powerful part of coming out - but it sounds like you've done that already so way to go! Honesty is always the best practice when coming out to other people, be prepared for different people to take the news in their own ways. Some may need time to sit on it, some may doubt you, and still others will think nothing of it and continue on as if you had told them the sky was blue. You know your friends better than any of us will, so tell them in ways that make *you* feel the most comfortable. They should know that nothing is different about you, you'll still be the person they know and love - you just happen to be attracted to the same gender and that's not any better or worse than any other sexual identity. Let them know that you're still a supportive friend and hope that they will offer that in return. Big hugs for your courage!

Just say it. If they are supportive they will ask questions but will never judge because they love you.

Tell them directly, approach them saying you need to talk to them about something important. If they are your friends they will support you no matter what.

Just try to be honest with them, If they are good friends they will be supportive no matter what. Just make sure you are comfortable to do so.

Take a deep breath, be in a place where you are alone with your friends, comfortable while sitting down and looking them in the eyes to get ready to just come out and say it. You can say that you have something serious you want to tell them and that should grab their attention. Tell them that you are nervous, but that you want them to know this and then let it out.

well, the best way is to first find out if your friend is okay with homosexuality or not. if he is then tell him. it will take sometime for him to adjust but it will be alright. and if your friend does not like LGBT then either stay closed or let him go because he doesn't deserve you....

It depends on what your friend's beliefs are. If they're accepting, tell them in person slowly and with sincerity. Something like "Yeah. I have something really, really important to tell you. I'm homosexual." And hopefully they accept you. If they aren't accepting of homosexuals, you should wait until the time that's best. Tell it to them slowly, and be brave. If they don't accept you, there are plenty of wonderful people who will support you. Don't be afraid to be who you are.
