I don't know how my mom feels about me being trans (FtM) because one moment, she is supportive. The next, she yells at me when she finds out the name I want to change my name to.  I don't know what to do. 

Hey Eli, well try to think about it from your mom's point of view. She named you, and she took a lot of thought into that name. If she seems fine with you being trans, but she's getting upset that you want to change your name, just give her time to come to terms with it all. How long has it been since she found out?

Hello any LGBT ? 

i don’t feel like i pass as a boy and i feel like everyone knows i’m trans and it sucks

How to I tell my parents that I'm a bisexual?? They're both really overprotective towards me.....

HI! I came out right before the Corona Quarantine (YAY), but I have found that I am still hiding with my parents it feels. I do not know how to be myself with them because I'm scared that I am overwhelming them and it feels like me being gay is still a secret because my mom even said that not everyone needs to know. At first I thought I agreed, but i do not. It sounds silly to say, but I want to be able to do something as little as use the gay hashtag on social media or go to pride without any anxiety surrounding whether people who don't know, primarily at church and extended family to find out. It feels so tricky and I just don't want it to always feel like this and I feel like now is me setting the stage for the rest of my life. Honestly I don't care about what they think myself, but what will happen to their relationships if their friends/fam know i'm gay since i don't know how they will react. I just want some advice pls

Coming Out

I have been a bisexual for a almost 5 months. I recently came out to my friend and then she came out to me as bi. I am so happy for her. (Not dating if you think) Both our parents are homophobia which is sad that I can’t express myself. I have a pan friend and my mother knows. She always asks about who is she dating and she hopes that I don’t start to act like her. I always have to say no because I don’t want her to be mad at me or be disappointed. They are also sexist and racist. Every time they see a black person they just have to make jokes. They have a friend who’s overweight and when they aren’t around they always say mean things about them. I always have to go with it which makes me sad. Sometimes when they make fun of people I say that maybe they didn’t have a choice and then it’s all awkward. Hope you aren’t dealing with the same things. Have a wonderful day or night!
