ok so where do I start
I am a 18 year old gay (lesbian actually but I prefer gay). So far I have only ‘come out’ (I hate that word) to a few people and all of them are friends. I am proud of who I am and I’m pretty happy where I’m at but it hurts to think of what my parents will do once they find out. Everytime I try to bring up topics regarding the queer community, they just shut me down. It’s come to a point where I don’t even bother talking to them anymore. Do I just tell them and get it over with?

I do get your point, it might be hard initially reaching out.But dont put a lot of pressure on yourself ,take your time breathe,and open up to them when you are ready.They’re your parents they’ll understand you.

wow I needed to hear that, thanks love :)

Hii I came out to my mom as bi almost a year ago and it went really bad. I was in a very similar situation as you. Literally, my father equated being gay to pedophilia. You have to be ready for the worst ever response and if you’re okay with that the you know you’re ready. I wish I was more prepared for my mother to tell me she would have to abandon me if I ever lived my truth openly. I think most people like to sugar coat the coming out process. So yes, take your time and really reflect about what is best for YOU :) let me know if you want to connect @thebicliche

hey, hope you are well. I feel takes people time to understand and undo the things they’ve been brought up with, maybe they will understand in time. Nothing but love to you. :*

You are SEEN, you are HEARD, you are LOVED. I am not religious, but you are loved for just being alive, you can breathe assuredly. You are valued in this world for exactly for who you are.

That’s what I wanted to hear, so I’m telling it to you.

I’m an 28 yr old lesbian too and facing the same problem i came to a conclusion that let’s just settle down like become financially stable and them come out to them! It’ll be better cause even if they kick me out of the house I don’t have to worry😂✌️

You don’t have to ‘come out’ to anyone, not even your parents if you aren’t comfortable. If you are afraid of what’s gonna happen when your parents know then don’t tell them until you are financially stable and can support yourself. You can maybe tell your close friends if you need an outlet. As for gathering courage, you are already so strong, the fact that you have accepted yourself and want others to know makes you so brave. More power to you! Sending you my love. ×͜×
