How did you work up the courage to tell your parents? Are you from a religious family? I wanna stop hiding in my seemingly glass closet but idk yk

OH MY GOSH I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW SOMEONE SENT ME AN ASK😭

Sorry if this is a late response, but I decided to do it after I figured it out myself and built a community of Allys/supporters or people who were also apart of the LGBTQ+, around me. I let myself become comfortable and sure in the label, before I told any family members, that weren't my twin sister or close cousin.

And I grew up Christian Baptist, idk too much about my own past denomination to pass judgement on it lol, but I what I can pass judgment on is my parents. Who still have their moments of oppressive behavior and language, however, they have supported me...surface level wise. If that makes sense. And i'm not afraid to look at them crazy, if they say something wrong.

Ultimately tho, it's up to you whether you want to actually come out to them, or not. If you think the aftermath or their reaction will not be, preferable, then you could wait until you're out the house to tell them (if you're living with them) or you could let them find out on their own somehow, like go around living your truth and if they ask you about it, then you can do it like that🤔

But I will PUSH the advantages of having a support group of your own, whether they elligble for that group or not. Hope this helps Anon, good luck!!!💜💜💜
