    My sister and I try and spend time together (she doesnt know I am gay) and we are going to a christian concert next friday and I thought maybe on the way home after the concert, I could tell her then. I think she will be accepting, at least I hope. And neither one of us go to a church that condemns gay people so I hope it will go okay, if I can even gain enough strength and courage to tell her, so any suggestions lol...

    Hi there! One thing that could help is to think about a time where she said something supportive of LGBTQ* or has taken a position that might not have been all that favourable. Does she have a friend or friends who either are themselves, or are supportive of, LGBTQ*?

    If you wanted to have some reassurances and in preparing yourself in coming out to her, maybe try having a conversation about a topic that touches on LGBTQ* issues with her first. Her reaction or response, will give you a good indication as to how she might respond to your coming out. :slight_smile:

    Haha, I get it. My siblings are too young to even understand. I'm gay. I haven't told them, probably won't for a few years. If you need any help, you can talk to me. LGBTQ communities are there for you.(&&&) :thumbsup:
