You already have an idea of who you are. Should you inform others?It's natural to have reservations about coming out (announcing that we're gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender to others). On one hand, it may feel like a relief: friends may be asking you questions that you avoid or find difficult to answer. You, on the other hand, are likely to consider how your world might change: What will the public's reaction be? Will the people you tell pass the information on to someone you'd rather not know? People choose to come out for a variety of reasons. Here are a few examples: They're ready to start dating and want to tell their close friends and family. They don't want people making assumptions or gossiping about them. They're tired of hearing preconceptions and bad labels applied to them by others. They don't want to feel like they're living a lie or not being true to themselves, and they want to be accepted for who they are. There are numerous reasons why people choose not to come out, including: They don't know who they are or how they feel yet. They're still trying to find out what's going on. They believe that matters such as sexual orientation and gender are personal and that there is no necessity to discuss them. They are terrified of being bullied, harassed, discriminated against, or even assaulted. Their families are unaware, and they are concerned about what might happen if their parents or siblings learn. Coming out can be a little tricky that is why I made this book for you, to make it super easy for you, this book contains super effective guidelines you need to follow. Coming out is a personal decision that must be made. Take some time to consider what's best for you. CLICK ON THE BUY BUTTON TO GET YOUR COPY!

This book is focused on coming out as gay, lesbian, or bisexual. And coming out as an transgender. It contains proven steps to get you ready for the unexpected and is design to prepare you for a successful coming out reception. Coming out is a big decision that should not be taken lightly. if you're ready to come out to your friends, family members, or even your community, then the most important thing is that you're comfortable with and accepting of your sexuality before you open up to anyone. once you do that, the best thing you can do is to prepare for what to say and to know what to expect. Though no one said coming out was easy, you should be proud of yourself for accepting who you are and look forward to enjoying being exactly who you were meant to be. If you are afraid that your parents will throw you out of the house, disown you, cut you off financially or harm you in any other way, it may not be the best time to come out. It's ok to wait. If you are not dependent on them anymore, but are afraid of a face-to-face confrontation, it may be a good idea to tell them on the phone or send them a letter. The important thing is to just do it. You might be surprised by how well they take it! If they don't take it well, remember, once you're an adult, your presence in their lives is YOUR CHOICE, and if they don't accept who you are, you don't have to be a part of their lives. Remember that your sexuality is YOUR live and YOUR choices. Therefore, no one has nothing to do with who you are. Not even your parents. However, if you feel the urge to disclose to them, just do it. But NO EXPECTATIONS! You cannot control their reaction and you got to be prepared for negative reactions. But if they love you, they eventually will understand. It might take time. But, hey...you had your own time to accept yourself, right? So, allow them to have their own time, as well. Thanks again for choosing this book, I hope you enjoy it!

From bestselling author of The Book of Delights and award-winning poet, a book of lyrical mini-essays celebrating the everyday that will inspire readers to rediscover the joys in the world around us. In Ross Gay’s new collection of small, daily wonders, again written over the course of a year, one of America’s most original voices continues his ongoing investigation of delight. For Gay, what delights us is what connects us, what gives us meaning, from the joy of hearing a nostalgic song blasting from a passing car to the pleasure of refusing the “nefarious” scannable QR code menus, from the tiny dog he fell hard for to his mother baking a dozen kinds of cookies for her grandchildren. As always, Gay revels in the natural world—sweet potatoes being harvested, a hummingbird carousing in the beebalm, a sunflower growing out of a wall around the cemetery, the shared bounty from a neighbor’s fig tree—and the trillion mysterious ways this glorious earth delights us. The Book of (More) Delights is a volume to savor and share.

“Full of yearning, ponderances about art and what it means to be an artist, and self-revelation, A Scatter of Light has a simmering intensity that makes it hard to put down."—NPR An Instant New York Times Bestseller Last Night at the Telegraph Club author Malinda Lo returns to the Bay Area with another masterful queer coming-of-age story, this time set against the backdrop of the first major Supreme Court decisions legalizing gay marriage. Aria Tang West was looking forward to a summer on Martha’s Vineyard with her best friends—one last round of sand and sun before college. But after a graduation party goes wrong, Aria’s parents exile her to California to stay with her grandmother, artist Joan West. Aria expects boredom, but what she finds is Steph Nichols, her grandmother’s gardener. Soon, Aria is second-guessing who she is and what she wants to be, and a summer that once seemed lost becomes unforgettable—for Aria, her family, and the working-class queer community Steph introduces her to. It’s the kind of summer that changes a life forever. And almost sixty years after the end of Last Night at the Telegraph Club, A Scatter of Light also offers a glimpse into Lily and Kath’s lives since 1955.

Sometimes, grace gets messy. Caleb Kaltenbach was raised by LGBT parents, marched in gay pride parades as a youngster, and experienced firsthand the hatred and bitterness of some Christians toward his family. But then Caleb surprised everyone, including himself, by becoming a Christian…and a pastor. Very few issues in Christianity are as divisive as the acceptance of the LGBT community in the church. As a pastor and as a person with beloved family members living a gay lifestyle, Caleb had to face this issue with courage and grace. Messy Grace shows us that Jesus’s command to “love your neighbor as yourself” doesn’t have an exception clause for a gay “neighbor”—or for that matter, any other “neighbor” we might find it hard to relate to. Jesus was able to love these people and yet still hold on to his beliefs. So can you. Even when it’s messy. “Messy Grace is an important contribution to the conversation about sexual identity for churches and leaders. Caleb's story is surprising and unique, and he weaves it together compellingly. He states his views clearly, leaves room for disagreement, and champions love no matter where you are in this conversation.” —Jud Wilhite, Sr. Pastor, Central Christian Church

Going beyond the hype and controversy, Elliott examines how a diverse group of American parents of teenagers understand teen sexuality, showing that, in contrast to the idea that parents are polarized in their beliefs, parents are confused, anxious, and ambivalent about teen sexual activity and how best to guide their own childrens' sexuality.
