This question is only for the LGBTQ+ community. How did you guys/girls come out to your family?

I have been searching for help for ages. I have already told my mother but I don't think she believes me or just doesn't care. As for my father I know he will be very close minded about this stuff so I didn't bother telling him yet. But now I just want to make my move and get it over with and finally achieve happiness

My parents are both deceased and I never told them when they were alive. My father probably never had any idea, but I think my mother might have suspected.
Those were different times. My niece is out, and some years ago she brought her then-girlfriend (now wife of 10 years) to a family party. She did tell my sister (her mother), who told her that she just wanted her to be happy.
I’m still not out in my life offline, as I’m married to a woman and most people think I’m straight (I’m bisexual).

@DragonFruit My parents still have a while left..I think my mother knows just doesn't talk about it, and my father is completely oblivious to my situation
