So, a friend and I were taking about the Kubler-Ross model, which is, basically, a model of the stages people go through when dealing with grief or a tragedy. Most people know this as the Five Stages of Grief.
The stages are [from Wikipedia] :

1. Denial:
   • Example - "I feel fine."; "This can't be happening."
2. Anger:
   • Example - "Why me? It's not fair!" "NO! NO! How can you accept this!"
3. Bargaining:
   • Example - "Just let me live to see my children graduate."; "I'll do anything, can't you stretch it out? A few more years."
4. Depression:
   • Example - "I'm so sad, why bother with anything?"; "I'm going to die . . . What's the point?"
5. Acceptance:
   • Example - "It's going to be OK."; "I can't fight it, I may as well prepare for it.

Now, originally these stages were related to death and dealing with your own death when you know its coming or the death of someone close to you.
BUT
what my friend and I noticed is that they can actually relate to coming out! Either the stages you go through yourself (i.e. realizing you're bi/gay) or the stages people close to you (e.g. parents) go through when they're not so completely OK with you being bi/gay.

Personally, I went through all 5 when coming out to myself! At first, I didn't believe it (denial), then I became aggressive and angry at every gay person (anger), then I wanted to be bi (bargaining), I went through this long phase where I was crying every day (depression) and now I'm gay and happy :D (acceptance). My parents are currently stuck at Stage 1, and my friend's parents at Stage 2 *sigh*

Anyway, just wanted to share my thoughts, see what you guys think of this :)
