    That's one confusing thing. I've told them I'm not gay which is the truth but they don't know I'm bi.

    Parents and brother. Grandparents will never know. The rest of the family probably wouldn't care too much but I'm not going out of my way to let them know

    Nobody knows. I have no idea if anyone suspects, but I don't think they do. My family are quite naive.

    Only people who know about me in my family are my mum, dad and sister... I want it to stay that way for the time being aswell... The only way I would come out to a majority of people is if I got into a relationship and I don't see that happening any time soon lol...

    Almost everyone in my family knows that I'm bi.
    The ones who do not I'm not in touch with anyway, so I didn't have any chance to tell.

    No one in my family knows, mostly because I don't know how to tell them. I know my parents will be okay with it, they're really chill and they support gay people. I just don't know if they'll believe me or if they'll think I'm going through a 'phase', especially since my mom thinks bisexuality is just a transition phase between straight and gay. As for my extended family, especially my grandparents, I don't know how I'm going to come out to them because they're really religious. :icon_sad:

    They don't think of me as gay, but they probably think of me as a little weird. So do I. :slight_smile:

    My parents and sister know. Other relatives are all pretty far away, so I probably won't bother telling them for a few years...
