your family will always be family to you. they would understand though at first they might get mad or upset. if that what's make you happy then open up and don't be afraid to tell the world who you really are.
ReplyJust tell them you have a girlfriend, Them being your family should accept you no matter what.
ReplyIs it necessary to tell them? I mean you could first change their mentality and then give it a try? Dont do anything in a hurry.
Even I have a girlfrind and my parents dont know about it. They might kill me for it. They are homophobic too. I know this sucks. We cannot live happily but I dont have a option. My parents are firm on their mental and conservative thinking.

ReplySo have a very close same sex friend, they don't want details about your sex life boy or girl. Same as you don't want details about your parents bedroom going on.
Treat your loved one as you wish to be treated, communicate openly but don't force people.. let them ask if they want to know.
ReplyIf I was in this predicament I would probably ask them how they would feel if I had a significant other of the same sex. And if they were all grouchy and " bah, I raised a perfect and pure child that would never happen " then personally I would say " Hah! I have ruined your evil plans! For I have ignored your teachings of perfection! " then I would go to bed hungry for a week as some sort of peaceful protest. If they were chill with it though I would just upfront tell them. But if you know for sure they are homophobic then you either tell them and face the consequences, or you simply stay quiet and frustrated.
