LGBT/Allies!!

I figured out I wasn't straight when I was 13, but I finally accepted it after I turned 18. Between that time frame I went though a lot so self homophobia. I'm 19 now and I wanna come out to my friends but I don't know if its too soon. I'm pretty sure i'm pan but the label just feels weird. I've never really dated anyone but I've had crushes before, but that's not enough for me to figure it out! I live in a really catholic oriented place that is full of old-school people who don't really like the idea of a homosexual. What should I do? Any Advice? How did you or some one you know go about it?
