    Hi. I know how hard it is to come out. Took me 3 yrs to tell my mother and only told the rest of my family this yr. It may take a while but it's the first steps that are the hardest and the most brave!

    Thanks I know it's going to be difficult especially being from the south and having extremely religious family members. I want to come out I think but the likelihood of being cut off is really high, and while being out is important so is the rest of my college education

    My grandmother is highly religious, she can't understand it as part of her faith but she does kind of accept it in that it is kind of an open secret.

    Hello there Alex. Welcome to EC. I'm George. I have a situation similar to yours, very strict father hasn't accepted me. I look forward to seeing you around.
