    Hello! I am very comfortable with my sexual orientation.. I am seeking support because my husband and I recently, about 2 weeks ago, discovered that he is bigender. We have been talking a lot and know that we will always love each other. We have many friends in the LGBT community (I am bisexual myself), so I don't feel that it is wrong or anything. We are both very proud to be able to raise our children together, with everyone being comfortable with themselves and each other. I just wonder how supporting out extended family will be.. When should we tell them? & how?? I know both of our parents and siblings will be accepting, but it is still a very scary situation.. I would love any advice or words of wisdom, success stories or anything else you feel like sharing with me :slight_smile: Thank you for reading :thumbsup:

    Just take your time on figuring things out, once you're comfortable with it, then you tell them ^^ Hope my advice helps :3

    Welcome! I don't know much about being bigender, but in general people should come out when they feel it would be beneficial for others to know, even the less accepting ones.

    I'm glad you're very accepting of it.

    Tell them when you're both ready. :slight_smile:
