I am feeling really insecure right now and having a bit of a crisis, just would like to talk and see if anyone has any advice So basically I’m pansexual and I’m out to close friends, I want to go to pride oarade this year and that would probably include coming out to my parents but the problem is I really don’t think they would accept it, even if they did, I don’t want them to look at me differently. It’s hard enough my friends looking at me differently. Any advice on what to do? If i should come out?
I would suggest you come out only if you're comfortable and come out to the people you trust. If you want to come out because of Pride, then In my humble opinion, you might not have to. I for one intend on attending the pride in my city, but I intend to wear a mask to keep my identity a secret, since I'm not out to a lot of people. Again, it is your choice.
Hey that is a difficult decision but I'm sure we can help you work through it. I just have a few questions. Do you feel you want to come out to them or not? Do you know that they are homophobic? How do you think your friends look at you differently?
I don’t feel my parents are hobophbic but I don’t think they would be ok with it, and to be honest right now I don’t really want to come out yet. Some of my friends are fine with it but others I can see struggle because they’re not as comfortable with me anymore when we talk.
Well if you don't want to come out my advice would be not too. Is there anyway you could visit pride without coming out to your parents?
