I don't know how to tell my family im gay

I’ve known I’ve been gay my whole life yet my family isnt the type to support homosexuality at all .. I’ve asked if I was gay what would you guys say and they were like you are out of our house … what should I do or tell them b/c I really am gay

Answer #1

I would tell my mom first! She is more understanding than my father, He would probably kick my behind! lol But you might go to the more understanding members of your family first, and once they get over the shock, ask them to join you as tell the rest of the family. That would seem to put a lesser amount of stress on you and allow you time to “practice” if you will, on some members of your family first to get ready.

Answer #2

I completely agree with ty. It is also not really any of their business which of the sexes you are attracted to. In the end it is totally up to you if you tell them or not because if you already know they do not support it, then all it is going to do is make tension in the family.

Answer #3

Frist of all you need to be completely independant of them before you tell them, so if the worst does happen you will be fine financially without them…

Once you are financially and emotionally prepared to tell them, well maybe you should start with the person most likely to accept it… And then go from there…

Answer #4

Just be straight up with them, but I spose you’ll have to give them a little space after you’ve told them. A good place to start is to tell the one person in your family that you trust.

I spose you’ll want to prepare yourself for the worse case senario but I’m guessing that hiding away the fact that your gay is probably your worse case senario, So with that its safe to save that th worst is behind you.

Good Luck

I’m not a lesbian, I have gay friends, but most important is that I have a son, if he was gay I’d want him to feel that he can tell me anything, I’d support him fully, I hope your family will do the same.

Answer #5

I know this situatuion. One of my best friends in high school was in the same boat. He told his parents right before he graduated. The thing that helped him out the most is that he knew that he had us (his friends) to back him. He told his parents and his dad was furious at first “No son of his was going to be gay!” And he lived with all of us for awhile, went off to college. Eventually him and his dad repaired his relationship. His mom was a lot more understanding to start off with. But to this day it still isn’t the same. But I can tell you that is a much happier person being who he is than hiding it from them.
