A BEGINNERS GUIDE TO COMING OUT

If you decide to come out as a bisexual, lesbian or a gay man you might want some sympathetic advice before you take the big decision. That's what this site is all about.

Being gay isn't good or bad, right or wrong. It just is. But for those of us who are gay, we do have to go through the very inconvenient step of dealing with other people's preconceptions. And mostly that involves them assuming that we're straight, which we're not. So we have to come out. And put them straight on the matter ...

The guide is divided into six parts:

• Are you gay?
• Do you want to tell anybody?
• Who do you want to tell ... and how?
• What you can do now that the closet doors have swung open
• Yahoo! I'm alive! (which is much harder than I thought)
• Where to go for help
