Welcome to Gaia! ::

If there is anyone in this guild who is gay and has come out to their parents, can they help me figure out a way to....it's very hard...HELL HARD. Please I just....some of you probably know how I feel

Maybe not a restraunt....but I, having Chrisitian parents, know what It'd be like if I showed them a boyfriend the day I come out that's overkill (adding insult to injury) I just want them to know being gay is no different than being straight, it's the way I was born, besides it may help that I hav a brother and sister that can still give them grandchildren...

I'm bi myself, and well, the only family member who I've told is my mother. She had questions and took it very well, and in fact, I think she is bi-curious. I have not told any other members of my family, though my cousin might know if he checked out my myspace page. I am not sure how to help you personally with this though, because your parents may not be as understanding as my mother. I suggest going to your local gay-strait alliance or LGBT center. LGBT stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender by the way. Like here in Sacramento we have this center downtown called Lambda which helps people with this kind of thing. I think that if you have such a center in your city that they would be able to help a great deal. At those places they tend to have a youth group that helps young people figure themselves out, and they get to talk to others just like them, and they get help on how to tell loved ones about it. I say them and they because I am too old for the youth group being 21 and all. I wish you the best of luck, and I do hope that this has been informative.

Relatives who are open or bi or gay is a good thing to have [my dad is bi and my aunt, his sister, is a lesbian]

Like they said, you should find out how your prents feel about this subject. And when you actually tell them you should break it down slowly. Hopefully your parents are understanding and continue to love you no matter what, despite their thoughts and feelings.

Having an accepting parents is always a (put in your status) dream. But face it, i'm kinda living in a homophobic parents who are also highly religious people.

Not only are they hard to crack with the toughest sledgehammer (which is the Truth about my gay sexuality), they kinda take it hard. Well to my shorten my stories, my mum denies or delibrately deluded herself that her son isnt gay and refused to aknowledge me. My dad? Silent treatment. I could say the earliest path of the journey wasnt that easy (hellish) but just have to move on with life. At best paving your path of academic might reap the fruits of labour.

I read somewhere that a girl wanted to come out to her mom and instead wrote a letter instead of telling her directly. Maybe you can do the same thing? Just a suggestion. sweatdrop I came out to my mom and she is totally accepting of it. I'm not too sure about my dad. My mom gave him a hint but I don't know if he took it seriously or if he thinks its a phase. I hope could help in some way.

hm........i think you should get an understanding relative on your side to come out to first and know that they would help you in case your parents aren't as openminded.
i told my grandpa first and he was the one who convinced my parents not to kick me out so it really is good to have someone backing you.
