Has anyone come out of the closet to their parents?

Question

Has anyone come out to their parents yet? If so, how did you go about doing so? I have not come out to my dad, nor my brother (homophobics). I tried with my mom but she did not believe me, though she would be supportive either way. Any advice from anyone who has came out of the closet?

Ok thx

Answer 1

Well I came out to my mom and dad three weeks ago and I may have some advice.My mom understood, and was ok with it, and my dad was funny about it, partially cause he didn't know what bisexual meant (stupid, huh?) and I had to explain.Try to talk to your mom again, and ask her if she ever had a crush on a girl.If she still doesn't believe you, tell her that how you feel and that she should support you.Try your brothers/dad later.

Answer 2

Ok so yes I have come out of the closet to my parents and sibling, ( btw coming out of the closet means being openly LGBTQ+) as pan sexual which means I like everybody girls,boys,trans males & females, and non-binarys

At first they didn’t believe my but what I learned was you are YOU you are beautiful and amazing so you don’t have to give a cr*p about what others think

Live your life be gay or lesbian or transgender or bi or queer or anything else because that’s your reality.

I hope this helped if not you than anybody else who read this.

Answer 5

nope, not yet.

Answer 6

I’m bi but I don’t feel the need to come out, I’m comfortable with who I am and who I fancy so if other people aren’t comfortable with that then they can get out of my life.

If you’re wanting to come out, just do it. There’s no shame, and I’m sure your family will accept you for who you are.  There is nothing wrong with you. Be proud.

Aww, thanks!

Answer 7

I came out to my whole family

you can just tell them how you feel, or ask them if they approve of LGBTQIAP+ if they do not approve ask them why they feel that way, maybe they might change their minds about it

This is not great advice is it?

Comments

Well, my dad is just against a lot of groups of people. Racist, sexist, homophobic, ect. My mom isn't (well, slightly racist, but not nearly as much as my dad), she doesn't believe I am gay because I couldn't give her "a reason".

Answer 8

no, I am not a part of the LGBTQ+ community
