This is so hard. D: I stare at my parents thinking "Will I ever tell them I'm bi?" It's one of the most troubling things to do.

yes i know! I've spend a lot of time with thinking about.. 9 years..
and then i told them

;w; Hopefully I can tell them sooner, it's hard though really.

This is what I can't say, no matter what. My dad wouldn't understand, so I'm waiting til I've started hormones and turned of age before I actually tell him.

I told them I'm dating a guy, and they said "oh, okay". There's not a closet anymore where I live.

Well in Barcelona where I live and in Spain same sex marriage is legal, not saying there is not prejudism at all and some people needs to come out, but in my house for me it was just natural, I didn't really experienced that. I'd like to see that normalization for everyone some day.

I told my mother after a year of knowing I was bi, and she stopped the car and told me to get out and walk home. lesson learned; cars are not a good idea when coming out.
i think she figured it was just a fleeting thought or something, because 2 years later, when I actually brought home a girl, she was shocked. She sent me off to college a week later and didn't call me for three months. Dad and his girlfriend however, I told while out to dinner with them, and they were happy about it, oddly enough.
my father's girlfriend responded with "What ever makes you happy. As long as you love them, and they love you, everything is fine. You bring home a Goat or some strange animal and tell me you love it though, and we will have a serious discussion." the entire time gesturing to me with her fork.
Kind of to pester my mother about it over christmas holidays this year, when i got home, I took the brightly coloured letter and number magnets on the fridge and made a Rainbow. My little brother was quite pleased that 'it took me being home a whole 2 hours before I turned up the Gay'. Then he hugged me. X3

I told my mum I was bi on Friday. I had gone to LGBT youth support club thingy, she asked why I was there and I told her.
I think she was dissappointed, maybe hurt and shocked at the same time. Though she reacted the exact way I had expected, gave me a leafet on sexual ID and gave me a "talk", it was scary.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
did she said that this would be only a phase?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no, I'm thankful for the good responce she gave me.

I WISH I could muster up the courage to say that one sentence.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i hope i never have to say that sentence. im gay but also an androgyne and its REALLY difficult for red necks like my family to take in and understand so i told them i was bi.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
and you really never want to told them?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
my aunt would never let me live it down and my grandfather would shun me. and my moms just a bitch.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I really like this, and such a powerful statement....I never told my dad, I was too scared, so I told my mom because she can't keep her mouth shut and would tell him for me. He's very much in denial, my mom is too, but she's a bit more on the accepting side.
Coming out to my parents was tough, but that was over 8 months ago and I don't regret it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
don't worry
you will go your way!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thanks.
and I will, I care very little of what my parents think of me anyways
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Im still working on telling my
mom. But its so difficuld even
when I think shell understand.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
yeah, i told my dad years ago and he's still in denial
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i'm so sorry for you
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh, it gets better. i'm house and dog sitting while he's on vacation, and i ask if he minds if i have a couple friends over, and he says 'i don't care, but you don't do that activity in my house, the thought of it makes me want to vomit.' which, of course, had the effect of making me feel about two inches tall.

I've tried telling my parents I'm bi, but then I kinda panic and it turns into "my one friend..."-discussions...
I don't think my mum'd mind too much, but my dad's another story...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
... that sounds really difficult..
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I keep putting myself into imaginary "what if..." scenarios every now and then. Sometimes when I'm having dinner with my parents there's a tiny voice in the back of my head whispering and urging me to make something up and see how they would react to it.
One of those scenarios I thought about was "What if I was gay? How would I be able to explain that to my parents, and would they accept it?". I believe my parents would be perfectly fine with it, but seeing that I'm straight, there's no actual need for it.
On the other hand, I've never felt the need to get a girlfriend (Or maybe I'm just too much of a coward and a nerd. 
Now, I can understand why this is such a big and difficult thing to tell someone so close to you, especially since you don't know how they might take it and if your relation to them will change afterwards. To those of you who have the courage to step forward and tell the ones you love, much respect. I tip my hat for you.

Son I am disappoint
...that you didn't tell me sooner! I keep seeing this one young man at the cash register of the local drug store that keeps asking me if my son is gay! finally I can face him with a good answer. Thank goodness, son. I have just, whew, that is a load off of my shoulders, heh.

I only have one parent to come out to when the day comes we actually talk about it. I'm out in public, and I just have not spoken about it to my family. No rush really, it just hasn't come up and there has not been a reason to. Though, if my mother doesn't know... someone is slipping her something.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
When I told my mom she said she had always known. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
This made me feel better. Much better. I don't how but I feel like I can tell the world.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ah. i came out&told my parents
that i was bi a few months ago.
&my parents now think i'm one
of the most moronic people they've
ever known.
i think it's silly that sexuality
is such a huge deal nowadays.
a choice like that doesn't make you
any less of a person.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
let them talk and go your way
i think that's the best thing
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I'm bi, but I'm so chicken I haven't even considered telling my parents. And I've known practically my whole life!
This is a great piece of work that really made me consider some things, and for that I thank you.

i never felt the need to come out to my parents or family at all. i know my father would not like it, but my mum would support me. i probably have one of the easiest cases ever concerning this. i just don't feel the need. if i feel serious enough about a girl that i would want to marry her, they would find out then. until then, they would probably take any confessions as being curious or confused. they can find out when they find out.
despite my rambling, thank you. and i am so glad this is on the front page, it really gives hope for the non hetero community. i hope that some day we can overcome the fear of being judged or not accepted that this phrase will be easy to say and nothing to be ashamed of or sorry for.
