A close friend

Great question.
I only came out as bi to my therapist. If you are currently visiting one, that'd be the best option.
Telling someone who's very close could be good as well, as long as you know they wouldn't mind (or at least it wouldn't affect your relationship in a negative way).
I'd put family in a 3rd degree, not for bad reasons, but, even though they are tolerant and stuff, after you tell them, things may change, so I guess you gotta be really cool with yourself to do this. -
This is a complex question, and the answer I'm afraid I can't give you as it's something you yourself have to do.
Yeah reading other people's coming out stories is nice and wanting tips and such is also good, but at the end of the day, this is your life and your body.
Don't do anything that makes you uncomfortable.
Just find a good support system and friends.
If you are scared of how family might think, I also am in the firm belief that if you are a grown adult, you don't have to justify that stuff to your parents/family anyways.

For me, it was easiest to come out to my closest friend because one of them was a Lesbian and she more than understood me.

next step, my parents, wish me luck
