Advice From A Gay Guy

Telling divorced parents you're gay

Question: okay so... I really want to come out (I'm bisexual) but my parents are divorced and I don't know if they accept gay/bi people or not. I think that my father doesn't like gay/bi people and my mom probably doesn't like them either because of her religion. :/ but I also have another problem. It's like a dilemma. I kind of want to tell my best friend first and then my parents but I'm not sure. Can you help me please?

Hey there! If you feel more comfortable coming out to your friend first, go for it. I told my parents first but tons of my friends have told friends first before their parents. It's really what you are comfortable with and whom you want to do first. It is really your decision when to tell them and who to tell. Its really your choice:)

I mean at the end of the day its your choice no one can decide it for you and no one can change you because it's who you are.

I always say come out when the time is right, when you feel comfortable doing it. Im not going to say its easy because its not but its worth it. The rough road is worth it in the end and with the divorce, I mean I know a few people who both their parents dont speak and they had to do that. They say it gets easier the more you tell people and its really when you are comfortable.

But you know come out when you feel the time is right, when you feel comfortable. Do it in a safe place where you can have a conversation and you know just talk about it.

I am SO proud of you for wanting to come out! It takes a lot of courage but I know you can do it!

Best of Luck! I hope this helps:)

Have a wonderful day bitches xoxo
