Coming out in my own terms

Dear Manay Gina,
I revealed to my close friend a secret about my personality. I am gay and I would like to come out in my own terms. However, since I opened up to her, she became very invasive. Her invasion of my privacy offends me because I am also quite independent and I don’t want to be dictated upon, when it comes to making personal decisions. I have tried to ease out of this friendship, but it has proven difficult because we are involved in the same activities and work together as board members for some groups.
As I prepare to come out, I would like to only be surrounded by people who love and support me. How can I move out of this friendship without being offensive?
Wally
Dear Wally,
The way to end a friendship is to stop sharing intimacies and behave politely when you are forced together. If she questions this, tell her that you don’t like her second-guessing your motives about something so deep, personal and important.
When you are ready to come out, you will. It would be nice to be only surrounded by loving and
