    So okay, i don't know how to tell my mother I am a lesbian... At all. My dad knows, well my birth dad knows, and he completely supports me and all of my decisions. But my mom, I'm afraid she won't accept me, same goes for my step dad. I shouldn't feel like this, I know, but i don't know how to do this. I don't know how to bring it up or how to tell them. I don't want to disappoint them.

    How do they react to LGBT subjects? Do you live with them all of the time?

    I live with my mom and she doesn't really talk about it, it makes me most anxious because i have no clue what she thinks about the LGBT community

    Maybe try to bring up some LGBT subjects? You could bring up celebrities who are openly LGBT to try to see how she feels about them?
