Hi all! Bi/Fluid/Pan/Queer (still obviously deciding on an identity but I have some deep-seeded and mostly unrelated issues with labels so this is proving to be the hardest part). Either way, I'm sick of blowing it off as straight so here I am, gently exploring this beautiful universe that feels a bit more like home. Not out to anyone but I'm also getting pretty sick of that. I have a really good friend who is out who I'm pretty sure I'm going to tell first. I'm mostly here for some coming out advice. I currently live in a largish city but am originally from a super small, conservative, religious town so I don't know how I'm going to navigate that yet. It wasn't going to be an issue but now it's looking like I'm going to have to spend a significant chunk of the summer on my dad's couch so new worries are coming up. I watch a lot of TV and do a lot of Internet You are all super wonderful and this site so far has been amazing! It's great to be here! (&&&)
Welcome. I am new here as well. I am pleased to report my son just came out to me today. I hope you have a great relationship with your father as well. It seems you are quite courageous in your efforts. The one thing I have learned is that coming out is delicate work and should be on your terms. I'm very supportive of my son and I love him with all I have. There is a section on advice to coming out that may be helpful. Look on the other sections as well. Sometimes families struggle just as much both ways. For me I desperately wanted my son to know he could approach me, but I wanted the advice to do it the right way. Turns out, this was the best place I could do that! Good luck moving forward and I hope my words were helpful to you.
