My ex came out to one of her sisters, and her sister was basically like, "Yeah, we have talked about that," meaning both of her sisters had already kind of figured it out and discussed it. I don't see that as something to be embarrassed about. It's better than a lot of the alternatives and seems fairly accepting.
I am not sure how much of this stuff we really need to tell anyone. The sexual orientation part is an issue just because...dating comes up so much, some people want coming out to be a sociopolitical issue/statement, and if you're a woman and you date a woman either other people will find out or you'll have to actively try to hide it. And even with all that being the case, I still question why I need to tell anyone I am a lesbian and why people make whether or not you're "out" a huge deal. But not liking sex? Does anyone really need to know that other than the people you date? Unless it's just a matter of wanting someone to talk to about it. I view it as a very private issue.
