[Brandon Burt]

I speak from experience as somebody who came out to my family and friends when I was 15. Of course, that was 20 years ago — the world was less accepting, and there were fewer resources for young gays and lesbians in those days. I live in a highly conservative part of the US, and my decision to come out when I did had many negative repercussions. Now I think it would have been wiser for me to have waited until I was old enough to live on my own. My answer to you is no. You should not come out to anybody yet — unless you are sure that person will be unconditionally supportive. This is not being deceptive — it’s merely self-preservation. On the other hand, in a few years, when you are established in your own life, then yes, absolutely. At that point, when you can call the shots and be in complete control of your own life without risking family and peer rejection, you should be true to yourself and come out of the closet — for good. I wish you the best of luck and a long, happy and successful future. Hang in there! May the Lincoln Imp be kind to you.

The best response I’ve ever heard to this question was provided by a heterosexual comedian. Why do gay men act camp? Because it’s FUN! (This last bit should be shrieked with an outrageous wrist flick or some such thing.)
