I came out to my parents. It was too soon. I only did it because I started crying at the anti-gay lecture I was forced to attend the day before by my pastor, and I totally outed myself. I didn't want them to find out through him. I don't really know what to do now. They were more supportive than I expected, but I still feel the same. Empty. Weird. I don't think I wanted them to know. They've spent so much time being homophobic that even though they loved me enough to be fairly accepting, I don't want them to be a part of this. I'm used to navigating this myself. I have all this built up resentment towards them and now I'm just...confused? I don't know anymore. Everything about this feels wrong. I don't know what to do.
I have the same problem as you. My sisters were talking about one of my guy friends (Im a girl) and I got annoyed so I said "What if I don't like boys?" I thought my parents and sisters knew from that that I wasn't straight (Im bisexual) So today in the car I said that I like boys and girls. My sister could not have cared less, in a good way. My mom is now pretending it never happened. I am so used to having open communication in my family that I can't really handle not knowing what they are thinking. It doesn't help that this is all so knew to me, and I am still questioning where I really fall on the spectrum.
Right? It's weird. I hope things get better for you. At least we know there's others feeling the same way... Good luck to you on your journey, navigating coming out and simply existing as an lgbt person. It's got its ups and downs, that's for sure\
