Coming out to my mother today. Only took me 23 years. She will tell the entire family afterwards. She is both maga and religious. Wish me luck 🙏

Hello my dear! This may be getting annoying for you, but how did it go? I’m very curious, as I’ve been considering coming out to some of my more conservative family members recently. But if you don’t want us to pry, please let us know! Thinking about you 💕 and don’t be afraid to reach out to loved ones and support networks if need be!

You’ve got a whole community to back you up, I know it can never replace family, but I’m proud of you, and I’m sorry if they don’t accept you for who you are

I’m so proud of you. One thing I’ve learned in the past several months is that the family that matters most is the one that chooses you as you are. Wishing you love 💕

So sorry for the delayed update, it’s been a weird few weeks! All is well, I am safe. My mother already knew and has already told the rest of the family (which sucks). She basically told me that she’ll never support it but she doesn’t love me less. I came out as a lesbian and over the last few weeks, she has continued to make comments about me “finding a man” (she seems to be trying to create a reality that is comfortable for her).

I decided I wanted to explicitly tell my family I’m a lesbian because they’ve made comments about men for years now despite me never talking about men. I am in my first relationship and my family met her months ago, but I brought her over as my girlfriend officially last week. My family doesn’t call her my girlfriend and instead continues to call her my friend (I have never introduced her as a friend, I would just call her by her name). I feel silly that it’s taken me this long to come out

It went way better than I expected because my mom suspected I was gay when I first brought my gf over and I was very very noticeably gay with her and she screamed at me for hours about the Bible and how our family will be uncomfortable around me etc. I didn’t deny being gay but I didn’t admit to it that night. I have felt awkward around everyone so far and I hope that goes away soon.

Hello! It’s taken me so long because I wanted to make sure I wouldn’t need my family’s financial assistance before I came out to them because they’d definitely be the type to use it as control. It went better than expected! They didn’t yell but they did give me a Bible lesson and my mom basically told me she’d never stop using lgbt slurs. No one is allowed to tell my grandma because she is definitely unsafe. But also, I am from a small Pentecostal town in Appalachia so I wish you better ❤️

Hey OP! I am so so glad you’re safe. While it’s sad that your ma won’t stop using slurs and they have you a bible lesson about it (I interpreted it as them seeing your expression of orientation as “sinful”), I am really, really glad that it went better than you anticipated. Especially given the financial aspects! All that matters to us is that you’re safe, and I’m seriously glad to have redownloaded this to find a notification with good news. Much love and stay safe!!
