I came out as bi to my brothers and our friends which was a really big deal for me seeing as how my parents are extreme homophobes and it took a long time for me to come to terms with the fact that I was...different? I guess? Long story short, they kinda didn’t take it seriously and made jokes about it saying stuff like “why should we care?” Or “so what? I don’t care” and one my brothers was saying that no one would love me and that I wasn’t good enough. They aren’t homophobic though. They accept any one who is part of the LGBTQ community which made me feel even worse. Why were they treating me differently? The rest of the night they kinda acted like nothing happened. I
know it’s a joke but it still kinda hurt my feelings. I can’t cry about it either cuz my parents would ask me why I was crying and then force me to tell them which would most likely lead to me being kicked out. Am I being sensitive for not taking a joke?

Help? Lol
I met a guy online. 7 years ago. We became friends. Great friends. I fell in love with him. We started dating 3 years ago. Never met him in person. It was a...
Hey, no you're not sensitive. That was a rotten way for them to react. It was a big deal for you and they should've realized how difficult it was for you to tell them. Maybe they were caught off guard and didn't know how to react, so they tried to make it a joke? That's how people react sometimes when they don't know what to do (esp guys lol). So, no you're not being sensitive. You have every right to be upset. But at least it's out there and you should be proud for standing up for who you are. YOU ROCK \m/
ReplyIdk I think bisexual is kinda a weird thing. Like if you can be with a guy you might as well just be straight. I've hooked up with bi chicks but in the end they only want dick and maybe a threesome.
Replyyou are definitely not being sensitive!!! Maybe it's hard for them to fully understand, but it's totally unfair of them to act this way. I am so so proud of you for having the courage to come out, and I hope things with your family works out.
p.s. you are good enough! you are loveable!! don't let anyone let you think otherwise :)
ReplyIn my opinion, I don't think your being sensitive. If they supported and listened to the LGBTQ+ community, then they should already know that coming out is very difficult and could end up in multiple possibilities. I personally think that it was wrong for them to do that, but I also think that they were probably just kidding around and thought that you knew that too. But still, they had no right to make you feel like that! Others probably make jokes like that and think thats okay, without knowing how they make the other person feel :(
I'm sorry that you have to feel like that, but I also just wanted to let you know that I'm proud of you for coming out to your brothers! Even though it didn't end up well, I'm glad that you were brave enough to tell them :), coming out is difficult and panicking, but I'm glad that you stuck up through it! Even if it didn't end up well with your brothers.
The point is that you aren't sensitive about how others joked about something your apart of, or something that you are. That makes you feel bad about yourself, and considering your brothers, they should probably know that coming out was a big deal for you, ESPECIALLY putting your parents in the mix, knowing that that's another thing to be considerate of. I'm so sorry you had to deal with your brothers like that. But I hope that your still doing well and thriving :)
