This might be a friend, a relative or a teacher. Say you've come to them because you trust them. If you don't already know someone like this, consider talking to a school counselor, a therapist, or a member of a gay and lesbian student group. Gay-straight alliances exist in many high schools and colleges. There are support groups at most gay and lesbian community centers.
Many communities have lesbian and gay switchboards.
You might seek out nearby churches or synagogues that minister primarily to lesbians and gay men. Telling Friends When you're ready to come out to your friends, you may be lucky enough to have some gay or lesbian friends to help you. But heterosexual friends can also be staunch supporters. Choose carefully as you reveal this fundamental part of yourself. Many gay people find that the friends they thought would be most judgmental were the first to drop them, while those who seemed unlikely allies offered the strongest support.
