    Hi,
    My name is Luke, and I'm 13. I've just come out to a few extremely close friends as being bisexual, leaning more towards men than women. My major issue, however, is coming out to family. That, I'm scared about. My family is mainly anti-LGBT, which really sucks:icon_sad:. So now, I don't know what to do. Anybody have any advice?

    Thanks
    Luke

    I don't have much advice, but I can tell you that when it comes to family, you are in the same situation of a lot of us here at EC. It's proven to be very helpful for me!

    Welcome!!!

    Hello, and welcome to EC =) If you read around on this site, you'll likely find some threads that you can relate to. That should only help you come up with what you want to do later on, I'm thinking.

    It's hard being gay/bi in a family that is strongly anti-LGBT, but we make it through! I wish you the best of luck in discovering yourself and hope you find nothing but love and tolerance ^)^

    I could say the typical Welcome to EC, but I'll do something different.

    Hi Luke,

    Welcome to EC! Same dilemma as you. I also find it hard to tell my parents about it. :slight_smile: Check the site out. It’ll help you for sure. Hope you enjoy your stay here. :slight_smile:
