I'm afraid.

So the only person I came out to was my mom. But, that was very easy because I knew she'd be accepting. However, I have a lot of family who don't agree. How can I work up the courage to tell them I'm bisexual? Should I put this off until I actually get with a girl?

[Abhorrence]

Is it necessary that you tell them? I'd only go about telling them if you're close family. The way I see it is that I'll come out (when I'm ready) to people that I am close with. With family, I don't see the point in having them know. In the future, if I have a boyfriend or whatever then I'm not gonna hide it from them if I see them.

I really just meant my dad and my grandparents. The rest of my family has nothing to do with me mostly anyways so it wouldn't matter.

Well I don't think that you'd be able to hide that from your dad for a very long time, as for your grandparents, I don't think they really need to know unless it comes up for whatever reason.

Okay, I think now it depends on whether telling your father will have an effect on your quality of life. If you think that your dad could end up disowning you or something similar to that then I would hold off telling him until maybe you're in a serious relationship with a girl that you cannot hide. If you think he will flip shit a little bit but eventually calm down, then I'd say maybe the risk is worth it to feel free.

Well, after working up the courage I told them anyways. My grandma told me about the fact my uncle never came out til he was 21 so she was so proud of me for doing it now. My nana said "Well, let's make sure it's not just a phase but even then I'd love you regardless" and my dad said "Cool, I'm a gemini. Your my daughter and I could care less about who you're interested in"

So then I worked up enough courage and announced it through Facebook and so far the comments I've gotten are uplifting.

Thanks you guys for the advice.

Well done! Wish I could do the same. It requires a lot of courage.

Congratulations, took a LOT of courage, and hopefully it marks a turning point in more acceptance of LBGT people :)

only you can decide if it's worth coming out to everyone or not. personally, the only person in my family who knows i'm bi is my dad. it's not that i'm ashamed, it's just that i don't want to deal with the aggravation. :confused:
