For glbt folks the process of coming out to friends and family is a risky business that may or may not turn very ugly very fast.
If you are queer and still in the closet there are some things you ought to know about before you come out. First of all we highly recommend the wonderful people at PFLAG. These good, caring, open-minded people have helped thousands of families with queer members to learn to live and love together despite the existence of the Republican Party.
We can not possibly say too many good things about PFLAG! So, before you come out consider a visit to a PFLAG group and get some ideas in your head first. Whatever you do, never present your gay identity as if it were a problem, being gay is not the problem, fundietards are the problem!
Here are some books on the subject of coming out.
