I've already told my brother and friend who is also closeted. I've read up on plenty of ways to come out to parents/family and I'm not sure what to do anymore. I was thinking to ask my parents for a pan & lgbtq flag for my birthday... but I'm not sure anymore. Any advice?
I mean, I came out crying when, I front of them while also admitting to a bunch of bad things (cutting and drinking) I’d also done. I wouldn't recommend that XD. Some one thought this would be a cool thing. Email, quick text or note like, ‘Hey, went to so in so’s house, Be back by 10! I will have tons of fun, don’t miss me! -Beaubella P. S. I am pansexual! ‘ Good one, right?
Call your parents into your room, and hide in the closet, and come out when they come in. For more serious suggestions, there really no wrong way. Talk face-to-face, write a letter, call; whatever you think is most comfortable.
I wish I could give you sage advice. My gay son first came out to his mother when he was about 14, and apparently they debated amongst themselves for a while (some months, I believe) how they should tell me. For me it was a complete non-issue: my oldest and dearest friend is gay, as are many other friends and acquaintances. I have no idea why my wife and son were worried, but it was worry wasted. Do your parents have any friends who are same-sex attracted - or maybe partnered, or married? As a very general rule (and obviously not always true by any means), people who are professional, and non-religious, tend to more open to, and accepting of, diversity. Even with their children.
Well, my mom's aunt is gay, was married to a woman. But I really don't know if she'd understand why I'm pan so maybe! Thank you guys! <3
