#5: A Family Affair
One of the most difficult things when coming out is having to tell your family. Sure, being closer to your family can help in this kind of situation, but you never know how different family members might respond. At the end of the day you hope that no matter your orientation, you hope that your family will accept you.
And sometimes the best way to tell different family members is slowly and separately! We’re not saying that this is the right decision for everyone who is wanting to come out to their family, but there is definitely a benefit to telling your family members the news separately rather than together.
