In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Select a small mug to make your cookie in. It should have room to expand as it bakes, so use a mug that holds about 8 ounces. Place 1 tablespoon of butter in the mug and microwave it until it melts. It will only take a little time in the microwave for the butter to melt. Try 5 seconds before adding more time. You don't want to boil the butter or it will start sputtering in your microwave. Stir in 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of packed brown sugar, and one pinch of salt. You can use a spoon, a fork or a small spatula to stir. Ensure that the mixture is completely combined and that there are no lumps of brown sugar. You can use 2 tablespoons of just one kind of sugar, if you like. The brown sugar will give a richer flavor because it's flavored with molasses. Crack 1 egg and separate the yellow yolk from the egg white. Throw away the egg white since you won't need it for this recipe. Add the egg yolk to the mug with your creamed butter and sugar mixture. Stir in the egg yolk until it's completely combined. You could store the egg white in the refrigerator to use in another recipe. Just use it within a few days. Add a little less than 1/4 cup of flour and stir it into the mug just until you can't see the flour anymore. Add 2 full tablespoons of chocolate chips and stir it again so the chocolate chips are evenly distributed in the mug. Avoid eating any of this cookie dough before cooking it since it does contain raw egg yolk. Place the mug of cookie dough in the microwave and cook it for 40 seconds. Check to see if the cookie is done. If it is, the cookie will look dry. If it looks runny or raw, microwave the cookie in 10 second intervals until it looks cooked. Serve or eat the cookie immediately. Avoid microwaving the cookie for more than 1 minute total. The cookie will keep cooking as it cools, so you don't want to microwave it too much.
Summary: Melt butter. Add the sugar, vanilla and salt. Add the egg yolk. Add the flour and chocolate chips. Microwave the cookie in the mug.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It can feel liberating to speak your truth to others. If you're ready to live fully as yourself, you are ready to come out. If you're not confident in how you identify, you might want to wait to tell your family members. Make sure that you can comfortably say to yourself, "I am gay and proud of who I am" before you tell your family. If you are having trouble figuring out how you identify, that's okay. Try going to a helpful website like the one for PFLAG. That organization has great resources for members of the LGBT community and their friends and family members. You could also talk to a gay person that you know and ask if they could share their coming out experience with you. It's understandable that you might be nervous before you come out. That's okay! Take some time to plan out what you want to say. This will help your comfort level. Jot down what you want to say word for word or just jot down some main points. You could write down an opening statement like, "Mom, I have something important to tell you. I'm gay, and I'm very happy that I can be open and honest with you." You can also list some keywords to include, like proud, excited, or nervous. Try writing down how you might respond if the person says something negative. You could try, "I was really hoping for your support. If you're not able to offer that right now, maybe we could talk again in a few days." You don't have to tell multiple people at once unless you want to. Think about the people in your family and consider who is supportive and understanding. You might want to tell them first. They can serve as your support system when you are ready to tell more people. Of course, it's fine if you want to tell both parents at once. But if you feel more comfortable with one of them, you can talk to them separately. You could choose to tell a sibling or a kind aunt or uncle first. It's completely up to you and who you feel most comfortable with. If you're feeling pretty uncertain, consider writing a letter. A personal note for a family member allows you to express yourself without dealing with the anxiety of a face to face conversation. It will also give them time to process your news privately. Another benefit of letters is that you have time to edit and make sure that you've said exactly what you want to say. Another option is to talk over the phone if you don't want to speak in person. It's great that you want to be open and honest with your family members. However, hold off on telling someone if they've given you signals that they are not accepting. While it's great to want to live your truth, it's also important that you prioritize your feelings. Coming out to someone who may make you feel bad might not be worth it. Avoid telling someone if: They frequently make homophobic remarks They have openly said hurtful things about gay people They have threatened to not support you if you come out as gay If you think that your family member might react negatively, make sure to plan for how that might impact you. If you live with your parents, make sure that you have an alternate living plan lined up in case your parents kick you out. Hopefully, that won't happen, but it's best to be prepared. Ask a friend or other family member if you can stay with them if the conversation doesn't go well. If your parents support you financially, consider waiting to tell them until you can support yourself.
Summary: Make sure you are ready to discuss your sexual orientation. Write down what you want to say. Choose one person to tell first. Write a letter if you're not comfortable speaking face to face. Consider waiting to come out if you don't think you'll be supported. Make sure you have options if you need to change your living situation.
