I can’t remember how old I was exactly… 18 or 19? I came out as gay, though later realized I was bi/pan, to my mom with a note because I was pretty sure she would be accepting, but I wasn’t about my dad. Neither of them really cared? Like it wasn’t a big deal.
The only negative thing I think coming out did was stop getting us invited to Thanksgiving at my super Christian aunt’s house. But you know… Fuck 'em. 🤷🏻♂️
Glad you are out! My family was a little confused since I always dated women, then felt myself falling in love with a guy (I’m bi). They kept asking if I was actually gay, and I would tell them no, and spare them the graphic details of why that was not the case, haha.
They were caught a bit off guard since I didn’t fit into what my parents thought of as traditionally queer/stereotypical LGBT traits (eg, femboyish things). Things really worked out, though. :)
