When to come out?

Hi everyone! I have been reading the Message boards for a few weeks and it has been helpful. I have just recently realized I was gay. For years I have suffered from depression and when I came to this realization I was the happiest I think that I have ever been. I luckily have a couple of lesbian friends that helped me realize this but it was nothing sexual. I have come out to my friends and my sister. I have not come out to my parents though. My friends believe I should wait until I have my first girlfriend. I look forward to you comments.

I want to thank everyone for their support. I do agree that it was the hardest thing that I have ever done. I was very relieved when I told my mom and she took it so well. I have a weight lifted off me which is good because I have a lot of other things to deal with in my life so this turning out well helps.

One Love
