Ok so ummm Iβm thinking about coming out to my parents but Iβm terrified! Iβve grown up in a largely catholic family and any time they see a lgbtq+ person they kinda scrunch their nose and talk loudly about a different subject. Can anyone help me please? Iβm so stressed from school and keeping this secret, but Iβm already the disappointment of the family. Anything and everything is welcome. QOTP: what movie was worse- Percy Jackson or Avatar: the Last Airbender

3 years agoI think you should do it! If they donβt except their kids for who they are then why have kids. And if they donβt accept you remember that your fam on Recolor do and always will!

3 years agocongrats on taking this step , and I hope you find the strength to come out to them . They might surprise you with how they react! No matter what, you will always have a community of people like you that will love and support you . surround yourself with love and positivity in life, and be your true self. A big help in life is having a support system, whether it be online groups or support groups or your local community center . you are never alone !

3 years ago@Lazuli Iβm so so sorry, but you say except and the correct word is accept. Iβm so sorry. Iβm OCD about grammar.

3 years ago@Lazuli wow. Thank you so much. Sometimes itβs a little easy to forget how beautifully accepting people are in Recolor.

HahahHa is probably love being your sister. I might know a few relatives and other people I could hang around with until I either move out or my parents get over it. The only problem is they live in Ohio, which very far from where I live. Thanks for the support, I really needed it!

3 years agoIf you don't trust your words when coming out, write a letter and give it to them. Explain how you are still the same person you were before. Explain how you felt you would never be accepted and the fear of it all. At the end state your sexuality. Good luck!

3 years agoI donβt know you, but I hope it turns out ok for you! If your family doesnβt understand, Iβm sure you can work it out with them! I havenβt ever had to do something like this because Iβm not part of the LGBTQ+ community, but I still support you! β€οΈ

3 years ago@π€Koi Fish π you are inspirational as you are going to take the next step, always know that you are loved by your family no matter what you say and do, your family will accept you because the real you, that you are is beautiful, so embrace it, and celebrate it with your friends and family, your special so never hide it from anyone πππβ€οΈππ³οΈβπ

3 years ago@~{Β°β’αα¬ααα¨α¬α αα―α―αβ’Β°}~ I took your advice and wrote the letter. Iβm hoping to leave it somewhere for them tomorrow.
@SagittariusCat thanks for the support, itβs really helping me keep the anxiety under control π€π€π
@Darling raspberryπ thanks for the support and pep talk, I really needed to hear it.

3 years agoI am straight, but I do have friends who took the step and told all of our friends about them (Iβm the secret/one to come to for advice in the group). I hope that you find your strength and confidence to tell them. If you ever need to talk to someone or need a piece of advice, just hop on over to my page and drop a comment. Iβm always willing to help people. Beautifully colored by the way πππ
