Coming out to my room mate?

Long story short: I'm at dork camp. I have a room mate. Room mate and I are pretty close--we hang out a fair amount and stuff. Now, a lot of the girls talk about guys. And when I say talk about guys, I mean continually obsess over them. It's kinda crazy, not gonna lie.

Anyways, Room mate has a bit of a crush on a guy so we talk about him, her exes, etc. And I dunno...I kinda want to come out to her. But this might not go well: she's relatively conservative, she uses "gay" as a synonym for stupid, and has on several occurrences explained a joke about her being a lesbian and then continually reassured me that she is, in fact, not.

I really want to come out in general, mostly in an attempt to get the continual guy fest to knock it off; but I don't want to come out without giving Room mate a fair warning first.

So, anyone know the etiquette / have any advice for this sticky situation?
