    I am very lgbt myself. I have gotten a few more relatives, due to one of my relatives marrying someone. I now have 2 new aunts! It's exciting, because, now, I'm not the only lgbt person in my family. One aunt is the sister of the person my relative married, and she is married to another girl, the other aunt. They were not invited to the wedding of my realitive and a man, lets just call him Rob, just because of their sexuality. I feel really bad about that. I want to apologize to them, the next time I see them, but that might mean having to come out as genderfluid and skoliosexual. Is there a way to apologize to them withought doing that? I feel like I might have to tell them. I 'm just embarrassed.

    Well I don't think it is essential to come out to them I mean you could just be an ally, that being said you would like to believe that they would be supportive if you did come out.

    I know they'd probably be supportive, I'm just nervous. I'm out to everyone but family, and everytime I've come out to a friend, or just someone who's not family, it hasn't gone well.

    Aww I'm sorry your coming out has not been going so well. I can understand why you are nervous.

    Thanks.. I want to at least come out to family members before I move out of my parents' house (I'm 15. Not ready to move out yet.), but I still kind of don't want to because of what's happened before.

    Well coming out whilst your dependant on your parents can be more risky if you think they will react badly. I'm not say don't do it just that it is worth giving it careful consideration.

    You should be careful. And you know your parents better than we, so you can imagine their reaction. And always you can talk to us here
