Microwaved_Potpie Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 My family is homophobic + transphobic and I’m thinking of coming out to them. Im Pansexual + Non binary, two things my parents don’t understand. I live in a small town, where word travels fast, and almost everyone is homophobic + transphobic. I can’t stand being someone I’m not around my family, which is part of the reason why I want to come out. I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to do, but I’d like advice from others.

Daisie Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Hey @Microwaved_Potpie, Welcome to the Community. Just popped by and wondered if you’d find it beneficial to have a chat with one of our mentors, I’ll tag them in so you know who they are and so they can reach out to you. @Monsoon & @Blondie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm one of the digital mentors here and I give advice and support to those who reach out to us. When thinking about coming out, it's important to consider the risk element. I'm wondering, by coming out, could you be put in danger of any kind? If so, can you tell me more about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
