What's your coming out story?
I just WAS. I never had to say anything (although I would if anyone asked). I brought my girlfriend to my high school prom.
It was just known because I lived as honestly at I could at the time. I didn’t say “Hi, my name is Alex and I like to kiss girls.” I just felt better saying something like “Well, my girlfriend…” etc etc.

I know for sure that one of the best things I’ve ever put in my mouth was the Sweet Glazed Pork sandwich at this chinese sandwich shop in NYC called Xie Xie. (Angelo from Top Chef - that’s his place.)

Hey thanks! This question, for me, is like the exact equivalent of “what’s your favorite song?!”
On my resume I use Futura for the section headers (in all caps, because I think Futura looks best in all caps) and a great body copy serif typeface called FF Scala.
But you know… it depends on the application.

"i want to tell someone 'I think I might be gay'"...
I think that if you have to ponder/ask yourself this question, you probably are legitimately attracted to a girl (which is a beautiful thing) and are trying to justify it/make sense of it in some other way.
But you know… generally I think if you want to tell someone that you “MIGHT be gay” it’s probablyyyy because you like girls.

I think you’ll end up telling both of them anyway no matter which way you go about this, duh.
Also, don’t be confused… life is a process. Your sexuality, I feel, is an ever-evolving process. If you like girls right now and want to tell someone, by all means!

Give me 5 of those 500 reasons to come out.
1. Living honestly to those around you is the single most important and influential thing you could do to change the world, those people, and that which makes it so difficult to come out in the first place itself.
2. For your girlfriend. For your future girlfriend(s). For your soul. Your dignity/integrity.
3. It will make you stronger.
4. Because you’re not ashamed.
