    First, full words make post reading much easier.

    Second, I generally recommend coming out to everyone, but you have to assess things like whether you'll be kicked out of the house and things like that. If your dad found the pic and didn't flip out (you didn't say anything about his reaction, so I'm inclined to believe it wasn't that bad), then it would probably be worth coming out and being done with it.

    well to give your dad some credit if he finds gay porn on your comp he knows your curious the fact you trashed it might be taken as you didnt like it hmm... depending on where your parents stand on bisexuality i say tell them as you ow it to them to be open with your parents that they hear it from you and not a neighbour who sees you holding a guys hand :S you ow it to yourself to be open and honest so you can live your life happily and at the same time your parents ow it to you to be loveing and understanding even if it will take some time to get over the shock. if they have a problem with this that is theirs not yours you have done nothing wrong your normal and wonderful :slight_smile: i always suggest to look into some pflag material for them when you come out :slight_smile:

    good luck take care

    Hi there! Did your dad say anything to you about the pic that he found? If he didn't say anything then maybe just leave it for now. It's possible that your parents are waiting for you to tell them but it is also possible that your dad already forgot about it.

    Do you feel that you are ready to come out to them? If you feel that you are not ready to come out, then wait with it. Try not to rush into something.
