I have a good (male) friend who recently decided to stop denying his attraction to other males because in the end there's nothing to be ashamed of in recognising beauty in another man's body. But the problem is he knows his family wouldn't accept his sexuality, even if it's honest and real and my only chance of finding true love.

I know there's other homosexuals in this forum. What are your experiences coming out of the closet (specifically, to your family)? What can you advise my friend to do? He loves his parents very much but he knows they won't accept him.
