    Im Bisexual and a 15 yr old guy, and my dad is extremely religious and homophobic.
    My mother once showed him a picture of a trans guy and my dad said it was disgusting.
    I want to tell them I am Bisexual , I know my mom would probably be okay with it but my dad wont.
    I was watching Degrassi and two guys kissed and he walked in and said It was gross and im not allowed to watch it anymore.
    How do I come out to my dad?

    I'd say come out to your mum first if you think she'll be fine with it.

    I'd size up the right moment to tell him. Be cautious and have a plan for his response. Be prepared. Religion is a powerful thing and can make people do regrettable things. Do this at your pace. Its great that you want to take the steps to promote your identity, nonetheless, I recommend it be done in the best way you can manage. Good luck :slight_smile:
