I can help you with dealing with some of your issues. Not all of them, but I can try.
I had it really easy coming out. My parents are pro-gay and I've never officially came out to them. They just knew and they were okay with it. The rest of my family is religious so I don't go around screaming "look at me I'm gay!". My grandparents are religious but tolerant, but I have yet to come out to them. I won't come out to them until I have decided I would like to marry a woman. It's just respectful to be tolerant of their religious beliefs to not go around parading my sexuality and rubbing it in their faces--which is what they have told me "We don't like having that rubbed in our faces".
I am the type of person who is very family-orientated. I have a very strong supportive family. If I became serious with someone, I would introduce them to the family and see how they get along. I believe that if I decided to marry a woman, they would know I was in love long before I'd tell them.
I can go on about my opinions, but I'll just stop here.
