>Is true that is better when isn't a secret anymore?
Sort of. My family was pretty accepting though, and my gayness hasn't really been too major. Basically I just have a closer relationship with my mother now and was able to go to Pride with my sister who I found out was bi.

As for how it happened
>talking to cousin/best friend
>he got me to tell him, I think shortly after he told md he was bi
>after a few months, aunt overhears us talking about it(we weren't exactly trying to be discreet or anything since we both knew she wouldn't care, but neither of us directly told her)
>fast forward about two years
>aunt is talking to my mom and one of my sisters
>cracks a joke about me being gay
>my other two sisters hear about it from first sister
>all three are accepting
>my mother on the other hand takes several talks to be convinced and eventually accept it. She was never against it, she's just Mormon so she thought the whole "everyone is bi and you just have to make the right choice" thing was true
>dad and stepmom find out almost a year later after being told by one of my sisters
>this is after I had lived with them for a year and dropped so many hints that I may as well have painted FAGLORD on my forehead in rainbow glitter
>they'd keep bringing up the topic indirectly, but not in ways that let me say "by the way I'm fucking gay"
>BOTH of them are like "yeah we totally knew the whole time" despite being seemingly oblivious to all the times I tried to make it obvious in response to THEIR probing
>whatever I guess
So basically the only people I got to actually come out to directly were my cousins and friends. Everyone else found out indirectly.

>How and when is the best way and moment to come out the closet?
Look for an opportunity to work it into conversation and take it. Recently, my friend brought up the most convenient opportunity possible.
>Anon r u still a virgin? Lol, really. Why?
It all depends on the situation. If one doesn't come up, just tell people you have something to say and say it.
>Who I should tell it first?
Friends. Always start with friends. They're most likely to accept you and easiest to replace if they don't.
>How do you did it?
First two times, I just said it. It gets way easier with each try.
Again, analyse the situation
>Is true that is better when isn't a secret anymore?
Yes. I no longer have to talk in terms of "tfw no gf", "yuri", and "my sugoku kawaii 2D waifu", so that's great...
Also, one of my friends knows some gay people (because extroverts with way too many friends) who are quite similar to me in terms of personality and told me she'd be happy to introduce me. Attainment of the elusive bf is much easier when people know you aren't hetero.

Id suggest coming out to your friends first, and then slowly working through your family.

I think 1 on 1 is better than you gathering a group of people and announcing youre lgbt. Because sometimes a mob mentality can form and thats bad news.

I told my friends (who were pretty gay so i mean) and then I handed my mom a letter. She then told my step dad/brother/sister. I came out to my dad next. Everyone else found out via a facebook post I made.

Everyone was chill, except my redneck uncle and a few acquaintances. My mom had to take a few months to get used to it, which isnt surprising because shes really emotional.

I had to come out so I could transition, so its 100% better for me that it isnt a secret.
