When is it the right time to come out ?

When your ready

@Brayden: exactly. I'm an open person. When something like that is being kept from my family/ friends it's so hard. I had to tell them. & I'm glad I did.

I came out when I was 13

I'm 14 now btw

My moms friends are too and they told their families that they were getting married and they were shocked but they have to accept you for who u r

When you're ready it helps if you first go to someone you trust I told my mom and a few close friends first that was 2-3 years ago

@Andre Homsi Jr. Well that was just to family and friendsI actually came out to my best friend and my boyfriend in 6th grade

I think whenever your ready. You'll know when to tell who. If you're like, 15 and you feel that you're ready for your family to know, do it! If you're 30 and you feel that you're ready, go for it! It really depends on your parents and timing. Like, if ya wanna come out to your mom who isn't to keen on the subject already AND she's in a pissy mood, you should probably wait in till she's in a better mood and ready to have a conversation with. Coming out can be a great thing and I say, do it when you feel ready and not when you feel pressured to.

It totally depends on your situation, who you are, and what you or your partner need. If you're a role model, for example, then there is even more reason for you to come out, when it is safe to do so.
