I wondered if you had any good advice on coming out to my nearest family members and old friends?
The A word is scary, lol. I hesitiate to give advice BUT I am happy to share my perspective, my experiences, and what I feel is worth considering when you have The Talk. Once the dust settles, regardless of the outcome, I feel that, in a way, you will be able to look at your life as two distinct periods: Before and After Coming Out.
The Talk will likely impact the dynamics and the relationship you have with everyone you come out to, and you may not always be able to predict how they react. You may need to come out to different people (depending on your relationship with them) in different ways.
I have written a LOT about coming out and support. I feel that these writings may help:
