Thank you. This is taking a bit of pressure off and making it a little bit easier to come to my parents. I've told a few friends but, my parents don't know yet. They're probably going to take it as some kind of joke. Won't even believe me. But this helps a little. Thank you.

Hi @matthewhoweicecream

We’re glad that the article helped you!

It must be daunting worrying about how your parents might react to you coming out, especially if you feel they might not take it seriously. But it is good that you have come out to your friends and that they have been supportive!

Now that you are a member of the Mix community, you might want to get help or share your story on our Gender and Sexuality https://community.themix.org.uk/categories/gender-sexuality forum where you can chat to others who may have gone through the same as you.

Remember, we are here for you no matter what!

i am terribly scared to come out to my parents as ive tried to before and they made me break up with them. to be honest i think that they thought it was a joke. i want them to know that me being gay is for real. im ready to do it but i just dont know how. how do i tell them?
