I'm bi, and I really want to come out to people but I'm worried. The thing I'm scared about the most is them not liking me anymore or making fun of me. I'm scared to come out to my parents since I'm only 14 I can't leave and I don't want them to treat me different. I don't like pretending that I don't support LGBTQ+ or that I don't think that some girls are beautiful. My grandma is always talking about how being homosexual is a sin and people who are homosexual are bad people, and it always makes me really mad. I want to be able to express myself and love who I want, but it's so hard to when everyone around you thinks that it's wrong. I got yelled at this year for making my own pride flag for pride month and it really upset me. My step-mom is the only one who I can really talk to because she has friends who are in the community. If anyone has any tips on how I can get through this I would absolutely appreciate any help.
Remember to keep being you and support each other! <3 😊
Don't come out until you're ready or if you fear it would put you in danger. Not coming out and being safe is worth the pain of listening to their ignorant words, don't put yourself in danger. If it's not dangerous then just do what feels right. When you feel the most confident and sure of yourself and your sexuality, that's the time to do it Because if they're ignorant and uneducated they'll most likely argue, and you have to be somewhat ready for that. And also talk to your step-mom about it, if she's supportive and familiar with the community then she'll probably be able to give you more help and advice than a stranger who doesn't really know your situation. Don't let them silence your pride, me and your community are always behind you supporting and cheering you on! <3
