Imbi1234! Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Hi, I'm Imbi1234! I am new here and was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction for some help. You see, my parents are REALLY homophobic, I'm thinking about coming out to them as Bisexual, and I know that they won't take the news well. I just really need some help.

I'm Blondie, one of the support mentors. Welcome to our support community! The main thing to consider is your safety and security - how do you think that your parents will react? Do you think there would be a risk to you being thrown out of home? MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imbi1234! Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 Well I'm only 12 so they won't kick me out or anything like that but they prob won't take the news well. They probably will not accept the fact that I'm bisexual and just say. "Um, no you're not, you're straight." MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ditch the Label Staff Blondie Posted May 12, 2022 Ditch the Label Staff Share Posted May 12, 2022 Parents will often come around even if things are difficult at first - sometimes they just need some time to understand. Do you have any extended family members that would be supportive? MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey there, That's really good to hear. It can take some parents a while to come around, and many do accept the news eventually, meaning that it can often be a waiting game, but just remember that the love parents have for their children is so strong and helps them to open up their minds. What do you think? MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
