Majority of my family tbh. My grandma picks me up from school and every car ride she belittles the queer community as if we’re not even human (she doesn’t know that I’m queer, she’s just like that).

My parents and family members have discriminating speeches when they saw news about LGBT stuffs on TV. It's hard for them to accept and progress these kind of "new" information, but cousins around my age mostly would at least try to learn and understand, and even give some supports. I guess things will be better through years, just that we need to keep making efforts on this issue.

Well, I believe the next generations could be living in a less sad situation if I keep fighting and working on this issue, so it'll be worth it after all :)

Why not to try to explain it to them? That might be the source of the problem

I've been trying to explain, share, discuss issues of LGBT+ for years and years, and I'm not going to give up. However, the depressing truth is that they kept denying understanding or having a conversation about this, and this hurts.

Many have, including me. Explaining it to a close minded homophobic person is like talking to a wall, useless. I came out as ace (thought my dad would have an easier time understanding) to him and he lectured me on how I need to be like normal girls. Sometimes it’s best not to say anything

I never told my family anything, it’s not really something your family needs to know right away.

Waiting for a proper time or just a better time to come out to my family seems like a mission impossible :0

For me, it’s idk. I never seen them support LBGTQ or hate towards it. I’m gonna have to gather more info before I can finally tell my parents.
