Hi guys So International Coming Out Day is coming up soon (11th October) and I would really like to come out to my mom . Do you have any advice on how to come out to someone the best and easiest way possible? I honestly have no idea she'll react. Thanks
You could come out with a coming out letter or even email. That's what I did (email) and I think it is a good way because it allows you to express everything you want clearly and by writing without the stress of saying it face to face. And you won't get an immediate reaction which can save you from potentially hurtful words that may come out of the immediate shock. The person reading the letter or email has time to think the news over before responding to you.
Between now and then have a good think about some of the questions your Mom is likely to ask when you come out to her and try to get the answers worked out in your mind. If your Mom asks questions about your sexuality, she will expect you to be able to answer, and the more confidently you can do that, the better. Try to demonstrate that you have thought it through carefully and you know your mind. Also, have the details for PFLAG to hand. Good luck with it.
