    I came out in the summer 07. I was 17 and it was one of the most stressful moments in my life.
    My first coming out was when I was 15/16 I think, when I told a friend, but really coming out for me was when I told my mother, she's the most important to me.

    besides someone i hooked up with in hs (i don't count that), the first time i told people i was 18

    and ps. i completely admire the people here who are younger than that and able to come out to anyone. i'm still only somewhat out and so much older. you guys have so much courage

    Told the first person when I was 14..

    But when I was 8, while watching the Olympics, I told my mom, without any sort of intentions: "Mom I like to see the swimmers in speedos.":eek:

    I told my brother I thought I was gay when I was 18.... and officially "came out" to my parents just after I turned 19. But I'm going by when I told Timmy (my brother)

    I clicked 18 without thinking because I kind of officially came out this week, but I did tell my sister when I was 15.

    I came out last year, at 24. I only really considered that I wasn't straight two years before that, when I was 22. Oh, the lies we live!
