It's part of accepting it yourself.

I'm sure it's not the same for every one but my process was:
I'm attracted to guys but that's normal for heterosexual guys.
Okay, so I'm gay, but I'm never going to act on it, and I can still date women.
I'm fooling myself with the dating women thing, but I'm never going to tell anyone and never going to act on it.
This is now starting to affect other aspects of my life and I need to deal with it.
My options are now to tell others or kill myself.
Sorry if that seems overly dramatic, but it really came down to that for me. So I first told a therapist, then told a lesbian friend, then told my parents. After that, the "announcement" stage was over but telling others was the only way I could fully admit it to myself.
