So, this entry will be for those who are struggling to come out to their parent(s)/guardian(s). First thing you should do is figure out if they are okay with lgbtqa+, or if they understand it. If they do understand and are okay with it, great! This will make your coming out a lot easier. However, if they don't understand it or support it, find subtle ways to bring it into conversation, like a friend is gay for example. Then explain to them what it means, and why there is nothing wrong with it. Some people are against it for religion reasons, so if you can, try to find why it's against their religion, and explain to them in a appropriate manner that even though it may say so in a holy text, or their priest bashes on it, it doesn't have to mean that they /need/ to discourage it. If you are able to get them to a point where they are understanding, and somewhat excepting to it, this may be the best time to come out. However! YOU DONT HAVE TO! If you decide that after getting your guardian(s)/parent(s) on board that you don't want to come out just yet, dont! Feel free to take your time, figure yourself out before having them try and figure you out. But, if you are ready, go for it!
I think I may make a completely separate one for how to come out, because this was pretty long after I typed it all out. I hope this helped some of you :) feel free to message me with questions
