    OK, so I am lesbian and I think I should come out to my family. My parents know in a sense, i mean they think im bi-curious but I'm not.

    I think literally my whole family is homophobic but i just don't care anymore. I want to show them who their "angel" really is. Anyway, Im beyond afraid of their reaction.....

    soo.... :help:

    Ok let me get this straight your parents think you are bi-curious and you want to tell them you are a lesbian?

    If I have understood correctly then I would advise that you tell them in the way you feel most comfortable, so maybe writing a letter or email, or just sitting them down and telling them. You said you think most of your family is homophobic so maybe you could get some PFLAG information for them, although it seems as though they have accepted you as bi-curious so thats good.
    I know you also put in your post that you dont care about their reaction anymore but I think you should still carefully think about how you tell them, so it is less likely to become an arguement.

    This is a good sign that it is NOT time to come out

    If you can support yourself financially, and you're ready for them to know, then I say go for it!!
