Cspinoza1 answered Sunday January 25 2004, 12:21 am: You can't make them believe by saying im going to become a lesbian. You are or you aren't, so if you are the only way to show that is by bringing a girl home. ANd make sure you are a lesbian though because it will be kinda weird saying you are and you find out your not.

notnormal answered Saturday January 24 2004, 10:32 pm: Thinking of becoming a lesbian isn't the same as <i>being</i> a lesbian. And if you were a lesbian, what is the point of announcing it to your friends and family? You either are, or you aren't, and whether they take you seriously or not makes no difference.

shay*shay answered Saturday January 24 2004, 10:21 pm: Usually people really dont take those kind of things seriously. You may be the type to make jokes all the time. Really look serious when you say that and they will know then.

Shasta answered Saturday January 24 2004, 9:51 pm: Well, if you really are serious, then be stern and tell it to their face like you REALLY mean it. Then say, like, "Mom (or Dad or friend), I really am serious! Can't you believe me?" or something like that. Hope this helps!

Here-To-Help answered Saturday January 24 2004, 8:50 pm: Seriously? It doesn't matter if they believe you. It's your choice and you chose to tell them something that intimate. Good for you that you let them know...but it doesnt matter what they think. I know everyone says things like that, but if you really believe that you are a lesbian, then be that...there's nothing wrong with this...and if your family and friends do not believe you then just let them think that you want because even if they admit to believing you just to make you happy...it doesn't mean they are really feeling that in their heart. Just get to know soem people and if you have a girlfriend, bring her home if you want to introduce her to your family.

chiquitaban answered Saturday January 24 2004, 7:39 pm: first off, i would sit them all down. specify that you are going to be having a serious conversation. this is the only way to get them to actually listen to what is coming out of your mouth. explain to them what is going on.
im sorry i couldnt be of more assistance. although i suggest visiting www.google.com and typing in coming out. youre bound to come up with a few gay/lesbian websites with just the right answer for your situation.
