You're better of not keeping secrets and if they say anything that is offensive then stand up for yourself MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtemisArt Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 It might help to find out if your parents are homophobic first because if they are not you can probably take a more straight forward approach with out having to worry about consequences 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My step-dad doesn't approve but my other ones do! So you can only hope for the best. Just be yourself and dont think about it. Say it and get it done with.

I think before coming out, as Saphira said, it might be a good idea to figure out if they have homophobic views or not. Could you maybe watch an LGBTQ+ show or film with them and see what they think? If they do show those kinds of opinions, remember, they often don’t last forever, and the love that a parent has for their child is such a strong force in helping to open up their mind and become more accepting. Time and patience is key to moving forward with this kind of thing. What do you think? MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monsoon Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Hey Clara, Great! Would you like to let us know how it goes? Good luck! As I said, many parents become more accepting over time, and it can just take them a while to come around to the news, so it's important to be patient. Maybe you can take a look at our support guide here and let me know what you think? https://www.ditchthelabel.org/my-parents-didnt-react-well-to-me-coming-out/ MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
