This is Gina, a 16-year-old from California. Twitter: @ginaslife3

The teen told BuzzFeed News she has known she was gay for about a year. Recently, she began to think of ways to tell her dad, mom, and brother about her sexuality. Twitter: @ginaslife3

She said she knew she knew she had to do it her own way. "I am not the type of person to have a deep, sit-down conversation, so I wanted to tell them in a lighthearted and fun way," she said.

She came up with what she called a "perfect" plan. She made a sign saying "I'm gay!" and took it on a trip to Disneyland. She then posed with the sign when she was riding Splash Mountain with her mom. Twitter: @ginaslife3

"I love funny ride photos so I figured I could make the sign just in case I decided to go for it, and I did," she said.

Her mom then saw the picture, and she sent it to her dad and brother. She said her family's reaction was "so positive." Twitter: @ginaslife3

"My dad and brother said they were already 70% sure I was gay but my mom had no idea," she said. "But I knew they would be super accepting."

Gina later posted the picture to Twitter, and it has since been retweeted more than 4,000 times. @ayydubs this is how I came out yesterday lolol

People thought the photo was fantastic. @ginaslife3 this is so fucking awesome congratulations
