Hey look before telling anyone you need to fully trust in them and be sure they will do with the info what you want them to so maybe ask ur cousins too about how they came out hope it helped!

Hey Robbie!
I'm in the same situation as you! I'm a Bi-curious and I have been keeping this since I was 13. I like boys and same goes to the girls. But yeah, I didn't let this out to anyone even when someone asked me "Are you straight, bi or gay?" But I have to lie to them that I'm a straight.
Sometimes you have to hold your secret a bit longer and find someone you could trust 100% and share the same problem with them. Remember, once you say it out, many things can happen. Like...
Friend A spreads to Friend B, C, D, E, F. and then the last person would definitely either post it on Internet or somewhere that your parents would find out. Parents nowadays are IT-Savvy.
Robbie, stay that secret with you! :)

I am bi too, and I really have not come out to anybody, I don't stress it; I don't think I would come out to family, my dad found out my cousin was gay, and kind of acts differently around him.
I suggest talking to your gay cousins, they will probably have allot more relevant advise, that is more specific to your family and your situation. Good Luck. :)
Hope this helps. :)

Come right out and say it, don't build up tension, it makes it more stressful for yourself, that is what I always tell people, I think it would be easier to come out to your gay cousins as they know what its like and have been through something similar to what you are going through now, they would probably give your tips and advice. The worse thing that could happen is people not to accept it, which in today's society it is becoming more and more less of a problem.
I wish you good luck and I hope it goes smoothly for you. :)

I think it would be better to come out to your gay cousin since he or she knows what your going thru...

come out when your ready, just tell someone, its alot easier than you think,im pansexual, i told my brother first, i figured he'd make fun and stuff but he didnt, he said he was proud of me for being comfortable with myself, after him i told my birth mother when i went to stay with her in california for awhile, her exact words were "bitch, why didnt you tell me before i got remarried, we couldve went looking for guys" after that it was easy comming out

make sure u trust the people u tell. and i am pretty sure ur gay cousins would accept u, but everyone in ur family should anyway. i have a family that believes gays go to hell, and they dont even believe bisexuality exists. so yea no one in my family knows about me.

Well your gay cousins i'm sure would be really happy to know that they have other gay/bi cousins. I certainly would. And my aunt's a lesbian so she's the first one i'm gonna come out to.

Hey I just found out I was bi two days ago. I've talked to other bi/gay/lesbian friends which helped a lot. I also told a few straight people...but i'm not entirely sure about how they are feeling. Best of luck with you.
