It is already a great step that you admitted to yourself your attraction to men. In that sense, you’re already out of the closet.

Coming out to your family, friends and peers may seem like the scariest thing you ever did in your life, but keep also in mind that it is often by taking great risks that we reap the greatest rewards. There is a possibility that you might face rejection – and here keep in mind that the rejection might just be a reflex response from someone who needs some time to accept the fact.

Starting with someone who is close to you is often the easiest (or less difficult!) way or coming out. Someone who truly loves you will accept you as are. Think about it from the other point of view: if you were out to make new friends, would you care about their sexual orientation?

Hiding something often takes more energy than letting it out in the open.

You will know when is the right time to come out to someone. It takes courage. But it also takes courage to become a hero!

I would also suggest you to join some local discussion group and talk about it with people who are in the same situation as you. It always helps to have support!
