    I think my family may have figured out I'm attracted to guys
    My father seems uncomfortable around me all the time he seems to be withdrawn and embarresed in public. I think he may have found a photo of me cuddled up to a friend he knows is gay (it went missing and I can't find it)
    My stepmother keeps discussing gaypride topics and she wants me to help her bake a rainbow cake and rainbow cookies. She never has spoken to me about these topics before now, usually these topics are avoided.
    I'm uncertain of how to approach and kinda really need advice.

    Perhaps, with your mother at least, rip the band aide off a bit and ask her if she is trying to hint that you are gay/bi?

    Don't actually let it sleep that you are, just ask if she thinks you are.

    Honestly, as nervous as you might be, embrace it. While it may take some time for everyone to come around completely, if your family already knows at least you can take comfort in knowing that the world hasn't ended and you haven't lost anyone. Trust me, it's much worse to end up stuck in the closet for years and years.
