So I'm 14, and I've thought about coming out to my parents (I'm lesbian). It would be so much easier if my parents weren't so against the LGBT community.
For example, my brother came out as gay 2 years ago and my parents still say stuff like "I'm so glad you didn't end up like him," and constantly call him slurs behind his back.
They also kicked him out of the house at 13.
I don't want that to happen to me but I don't want to live with someone who doesn't know or respect the real me. What should I do?

should I text?
It’s quarantine and we haven’t spoken or texted in over a month. I can’t tell if they hate me or if I’m overthinking things. They’ve left me on read a...
I say just tell them, if they dont respect you then they're horrible horrible people. If they kick you out maybe find somewhere to stay? or stay with another family member or friend.
ReplyThink about the consequences first. Why get kicked out for no reason when you could stay until 18?
ReplyWhatever you do, don't tell. It's not worth getting kicked out of the house for just so they can know an extra little detail about you. I say wait it out, you've got nothing to gain by telling them. I'm in the same situation as you so I know how it feels :(
ReplyI mean its really tough to meet someone's expectations specially your own parents. Well its just that people need a lot of power to change their understanding. I mean I as a straight person. When I first heard about this. I mean my mind was not accepting the fact that this is even possible. Of course slowly I came to understand this and just accept the things they are. Even now my mind contradicts with this but yeah. If you and your parents empathize with this I mean this takes time but in the end its just you and them. So I mean If you see their point of view, they are afraid of the society around them. First make them realize that this is not wrong. And of course if you are in contact with your brother, its good. Talk to him about how he faced this situation. Whether he is satisfied. You have to make your choice for your happiness.
ReplyYour brother must have been bad to have been kicked out at such a young age. You had better not tell them because they are too unaccepting of this life style.
