hi. im ella. im 16. i recently came out as gay, or a lesbian if you will, to a couple close friends. i used to identify as bisexual, and i told my mom, who then told my dad. i had also told my best friend of 16 years around the same time. slowly i built up the courage to tell my classmates that i was bisexual, most of whom were very accepting. every single person in my life except for the couple people i told still think im bisexual. coming out to my friends probably won’t be an issue for me, but it’s telling my parents and best friend that I’m gay that’s really scaring me shitless. im scared that they’ll act weird around me because im only attracted to girls and i just want them to love me for me despite who i love. if anyone, gay, bisexual, pan, trans, etc. has any advice on coming out, it would be greatly appreciated. thanks guys 💓
