i’m bisexual

and you’re the first person i’ve told. i’m scared to come out. i have a bf and he would be sad plus my family’s devout christian and my dad calls the lgbt+ f*ggots

edit: i told my boyfriend just now. and he was really supportive! he said he loves me and he loves all of me. i cried and he told me it’s okay he supports me.

My entire family is very devoted Christians, they couldn’t love me for just being me, so I left them. They haven’t contacted me in years, and I’ve learned to not need them (took me a long time to get to that point) but guess what, I’m happy🥰 because I’m not living a lie, and can just be myself. God has replaced my lost family with beautiful babies that completely fill my heart❤️❤️ So my point, you do you, and the things that are meant for you ,will find you😘

Do you have a safe place to stay? How old are you?

I'm sorry girl, that's such a tough situation I don't really have any advice for you since you're so young. Maybe seek out someone to talk to like a therapist

You need to live your authentic life or you'll feel suffocated. If you are with your boyfriend and you love him enough to not cheat and stay with him, great. But you need to be able to be honest with him, or its toxic to any relationship, and to YOU. I found out my ex boyfriend was bi because I found gay porn on his computer, confronted him and he finally fessed up. But said he had never been with a guy. Then I found out months later that this was a lie. And I was done. It would have been so much better if he had just been honest with me so I felt like I could trust him. If he's not willing to accept that this is part of you, then he isn't the right one for you. As far as your parents, what's your situation? Do you live with them?

by cheating on him, I meant that youll be with another girl without telling him, not that being bi means you are cheating. Im sorry if I sounded judgmental. in other words I would have been fine staying with my ex knowing he was bi if he had been honest with me. once I discovered lies, I couldnt trust him and I wondered if he would therefore cheat on me. if he had just told me the truth, of course not immediately but once we were getting more serious, it would have been so much better and I would have tried to work it out. hope my long winded explanation was helpful and not confusing lol

by the way I would HIGHLY recommend reaching out to an LGBT group in your school, college, community or even online. Im sure there are many people who have dealt with unsupportive parents, and they may be a great source of support and advice!
