hello so to give you a little back story my name is Zach im 14 and i am gay.
my whole life ive tried to hide it because of what my mother would say about these "homosexuals" she is very Christian so is my step-dad and my real dad which i do live with probably already is aware that im somewhat "gay" but im not sure but thats not the point the point is i don't know how to come out without making them flip shit i know for my mother she would probably say im deceived and start crying about abunch of pseudo bullshit about me being a whore or how im going to get aids because i am gay and just things she just absolutely does not understand but aside from that i know she will probably tell the whole family and on top of that say to my dad she is going to try to take me to a straight camp or something again all of that could be an exaggeration but thats really something i think could happen please and im just sick of hiding who i am please if there is anyone who has been in this situation and can help me out please go ahead and give me your best possible answer and thank you.. :confused:

Okay, that's probably a huge exaggeration. They are your parents, and they'll love you no matter what. But, if it's likely that they are going to be one of those families and flip out about it, just wait. Don't tell them until you are out of the house and they can't do any dumb shit like straight camp.

I agree with the post above, try to wait a bit more before coming out to them. You're probably overreacting a bit. Don't worry, you will be fine, your parents will love you nevertheless.

You do not need to come out at 14.
For one thing they will just say "it's only a phase cause he's only 14"
I think it is best to wait until you are out of the house on your own.
That's my plan and I don't even have parents who would flip.
Plenty of hetero boys lead secret sex lives with girls and say nothing
to their parents about it - but for some reason when you are gay or bi
you are supposed to come out and tell them all about it - why?
