FuckYeah! Ask a Bi!

Anonymous asked: How do I come out as bisexual to my parents? My parents are nice, reasonable people who are allies of homosexuals and such – just, I have no idea where they stand when it comes to bisexuality. I’m scared they’ll wave my sexuality away because I’m 16 and I just ‘want to be different’ or because I’m ‘doing it for the attention’ – if they don’t outright believe you can’t even go ‘both ways.’ I’m just so nervous – it’s been two, three years now and I feel I NEED to tell them. Any advice?

I’m not sure what to tell you. You can’t always stop people from having their pre-conceived notions. If you really do want to come out, then you should follow your gut feelings about it. Figure out when you feel is the best time. You don’t always have to tell them all at once; you can do it one person at a time. Also, be sure to be fully confident in yourself. Love & accept yourself for who you are. If you are feeling weird about your sexuality or aren’t really comfortable with it just yet, it might not be a good time to tell too many people about it…especially if you are nervous about telling them. 

So it’s really up to you to figure things out. I wish I could tell you exactly how and when and where to tell whoever it is you want to tell, but I can’t. You’ll just have to trust yourself and your gut feelings. 

Hope this helps <3
