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

I am never planning to come out to them. They'd both react horribly :).

@SW-User I see. Well hopefully everything turns out ok in the end

@ShatteredHeart Think it would work better for me if I never do it. :p

@SW-User My parents sound similar to yours, I knew mine wouldn’t react well but I’m glad I came out to them

@Littlelegskate hmm are your parents super religious and constantly looking down and making fun of the gay community? Then saying things like they are morally depraved and disgusting?

If no, would you come out to that?

@SW-User yes they’re strictly catholic. They’re not nice people in general, any excuse to look down on someone and they’ll take it using their religion as justification for their abuse. Always hiding behind their damn bible and quoting their scriptures while smirking behind a tumbler of whisky

@Littlelegskate then kudos to you, you are brave. :| yeah I feel the same about mine. Still love them, just not this part of them.
