COMING OUT: How can I come out to my siblings?

Question

Chances are your siblings have known you for your whole life—maybe they have an inkling that you're part of the LGBTQ community even before you do! Try to act not surprised if they're not surprised, and rest assured that they love you lots!

You can try coming out to your sibling on a walk to get ice cream, or while doing something together that you both love. The main thing to know is that you don't have to be afraid. Brothers and sisters, for the most part, are awesome.

Accepted Answer

I probably will never come out to my siblings, or anyone in my family, not right now. We Live in A Strict, Conservative, Republican, Christian Household and It isn't safe for me, I would be disowned and My Narcissistic sorry excuse for a Father would Kick me out because I'm almost 18. They aren't open minded to anything, I can't even have my own religious freedom, I am A Druidic Pagan in the closet and It's horrible living at my house, when I'm 18 I will finally be free. I know there are people out there who have it worse than I but I hope that if you have A Loving, understanding, and Accepting family that you will Come out bravely and Live your life for you. 💓🏳️‍🌈💓

Answer

When my daughter came out to me as bi I gave her a big hug and reminded her that she will always be loved.

Answer

My sis was totally not surprised. She could always tell. I was more surprised when I finally admitted it out loud. I was having an emotional breakdown and just blurted it out, she was suddenly explaining stuff about lgbt that she had researched! She told me later that she's also panromantic! I have the best sister in the world. Unfortunately for our mom, our brother is alternative too. Heteroromantic is what he is most adamant about, but he's only 17 and hasn't quite figured out the rest. I love my family!

Answer

i just straight up told my little brother “hey, i like girls” and he’s was just like “yea i figured” and then we played minecraft

Answer

My ex outed me to both of my siblings as a “omg she likes girls” situation. If he hadn’t done that, I don’t know how I would have come out in the first place.

Answer

My sister read my journal. Since then, she had countlessly insinuated that I like women. Until I finally spoke up and told her 😂 but it was super annoying because I felt the pressure to come out before I was ready. She also told my mom. Thankfully, I know they're accepting.

Answer

I guess you could say that I came out to my brother when he walked on me and his gf (who was also a good friend of mine) going at it after we went out to celebrate her birthday. 
Surprisingly he wasn't surprised that I liked girls or that the two of us were going at it.

Answer

I told my cousin by playing hangman..

Answer

I am sorry, that I'm in one of those "I just don't get it" moods tonight. I thought love is always supposed to be unconditional. You love your children you love your siblings you love your parents because your family and you have a bond together but sadly that's not always the case.
My 24 year old male cousin has 7 kids by 5 different females and society makes him a hero. And his parents praise him saying that he's a great person and will go to heaven unlike his sister. 
My 15 year old female cousin came out as being a lesbian and everybody hates her.  She and I are very close somehow her mom found out that she's a lesbian and told her she hated her. She comes over and sees me and she's freaking out hoping that I don't hate her. She may choose to act on her sexuality but she didn't choose to be a lesbian. Her mom says she's going to hell for sexual immorality. For gosh sake, her brother isn't seeing as being sexual immoral because all the females that he slept with he was never married to. It's a double standard and it's wrong
 And they talk about choice. That male cousin of mine is making a choice to have many sexual partners but people don't think that he's making a choice.
My female cousin did not choose to be lesbian but it's bad.
I just don't freaking get it.

Answer

My mom says she would send me to a conversion camp if she found out I liked girls Like that movie
 “But I’m a cheerleader” do those things still exist?
