Hey there!First of all, welcome to the bisexual community!!! 💖💜💙 Coming out to family members is really hard. My younger brother is very conservative, and I was really worried how he would take it. My advice is to take your time. Come out to people who you know will have your back first, then move on to some of the people you’re worried about. And you don’t have to come out to everyone in person, either. You can tell the people you want to, and then make a post on FB to inform everyone else. I know it’s scary, but if you give people time and information, it can really help. I wish you the best in your coming out endeavor! I came out to my family and friends (and the world) this past month, after being in the closet for two years! I thought I would have so much backlash, but the people I was worried about said they loved me no matter what, and I hope the same happens to you. Love is love 💖💜💙
Afraid to come out
My parents are excepting of LGBTQ+ since we have a lesbian cousin and family friends who are gay. But I’m still nervous to tell them I’m bisexual. Especially my BFF because every time I talk to her about excepting people in the lgbtq+ community she acts like a total homophobe and calls it gross. Which hurts me. And I’m not sure how my older brother would react or my very baptist grandparents and very conservative great aunt and uncle who are professors. I’m just super nervous and absolutely DO NOT want my sexuality to be that big of a deal!!! Which my family would make it... ugh I’m so scared it doesn’t help having a generalized anxiety disorder to go along with the fear of coming out T-T. I kept acting so excited towards pride month this year because it’s my first as a bisexual.

I'm in a similar situation. I'm bi too and I'm yet to come out to my family, even though they are very accepting of anyone of the lgbt community. I just feel if I tell one person in my family it's going to spread to my moms freinds and people I barely know. (which bothers me a lot) just some advice for you, If you don't feel comfortable telling your friend about your sexuality, dont tell her. (same for your family.) if she doesnt accept it now she most likely wont accept it later. find other people in the lgbt community and talk with them. it helps a lot . hope this helps!
