This is a throwaway account.
I know I'm gay for a long time. I just didn't expect I actually getting a boyfriend. And.. I ended up with one.
I need advice breaking this news to my parents. They are not super anti-gay AFAIK. But I don't want to shock them or something.

Coming out is overrated. Just live your life. Let them catch up with you, rather than begging them for acceptance. Traditional people tend to accept what already exists. The more you and your BF exist, the longer it goes on for, the more likely its going to be something your traditional parents just come to accept. Going in with guns blazing and demanding "acceptance" (whatever that is) is low class. Main thing is, don't put any importance on what they think. Let them come around when they come around. And if they never do, well you never had a fight about it and it's none of their business. That keeps everything calm and cool. · 2 years ago
My kids are adult and as a father I would like to know how my son feels. Even if your parents are perhaps against being gay, they have a big interest that you are happy. I can imagine that at least your mother know it already. Mothers are very sensible for such things. And there is no right and no wrong way to tell it them. It is a fact that wants to be told. I cannot say what the best way ist because I don't know your parents. I would perhaps at first talk to my mother about your situation. Maybe she has a tip how to tell it your father. At the end it is your live and most important is, that you are happy with that. · 2 years ago
my parents are very conservative. i’m not gay, but i did other things that they are extremely uncomfortable with. however, in the end they always were happy that i was happy, even if they disagree with my lifestyle. i happen to believe most parents want the best for their kid. so, maybe focus on happy you are and that all you ask is that they are happy for you, even if they disagree which you should allow them to do. it will fade away over time.
also: such a good account name wasted for throwaway 🥹 haha · 2 years ago
coming out is always hard... probably let your parents get to know your boyfriend as your friend first · 2 years ago
No they don't. I have 2 girlfriend before. I'm bisexual, just happen to have a boyfriend this time. And I suspect they are a little anti gay. The expressed concren about if I'm gay years ago, in a concern yet not critical tone. Not like "we'll kick you out if you dare to be gay". More like "we kinda don't like you being gay, but nothing we can do".
I should have been more clear. · 2 years ago
Are you sure they don’t already know? · 2 years ago
