QUESTION TO ALL OF MY WATCHERS- 1/19/14
12 years ago
Warf! Hello everyone! :D
SO! No one is required to answer this question, and I hope I'm not coming off as rude by asking it, but I am in a place where I've just decided to ask others about this, so HERE IT IS:
Are any of you gay/lesbian/trans/bi/etc., and which of you have come out to family members, especially your parents/aunts/uncles/anyone older than you?
In case you didn't know and you care, I am a lesbian and I'm pretty open about it; in fact several of my friends know. However, the only person in my actual family who knows is my cousin.
My parents, of course, are hardcore Christians, and the rest of my family is pretty old-fashioned, so I have not come out to them yet. Even so, my parents seem to really care for me and I don't think they would do anything worse than disown me for a while... But you never know.
I would wait until I'm no longer financially dependent on them, but I'm getting really sick and stressed out with keeping secrets from them, plus it's getting harder and harder to pretend I don't like girls.
What do you people think? At what age did you come out to your parents (if you are LGBT of course), and how did they react? Was it what you expected? Comment below, it would be much appreciated!
And again, I hope I didn't come off as rude or anything like that- I really do just want to hear from you all.
So, thanks in advance for any responses, and everyone have a good day! Night... whatever...
LAKOTAKIN AWAY!

anyways, In my opinion I think it's really stupid to say "OMG!! you're a lesbian!?!?!? holy shit! well, no love for you my child" so really, shouldn't you be the one pissed off if your parents reactions where to be angry or disappointing when you told them?
