i am genuinely asking for advice here

I dunno, me and my siblings came out to our very religious Italian mother by just talking for SIX HOURS but we eventually talked it out

that took forever and I'm not fully sure mom supports tho

my advice?
you dont have to come out unless you want to. its not a requirement to be valid.
if you do, heres a tip. make sure its safe to come out. try and figure out your parents' standing on lgbtq people. if you determine they are not homophobic, then i see no reason not to come out

Cant help
I'm waiting till I'm 18 to tell any of my family members because then I can go, "yeah I'm lgbtq now goodbye forever"

Best response I’ve heard before

Ty😂

What I did is defuse it with humor, but obviously that doesn’t work with everyone. Do you suspect they’re homophobic? If yes then I’d possibly wait until you’re out of their house like O said, otherwise, find whatever works. You don’t have to tell them if you don’t want to

where the lesbian flag pin around the house and eventually they'll figure it out

Looks good on paper, but after wearing various pins/stickers with pronouns and even saying, in front of my mom, "my pronouns switch, but RIGHT NOW (capitalized for emphasis) I use HE?THEY" *pointed look at my Mom*

I myself wrote them an overly detailed letter explaining how I felt, stats, psychology, requests for changes (e.g., pronouns, refer to me and sibling as "kids" and not "girls"), and left it on their bed around 12 @ night. Not everyone will be able to do that. I was lucky enough to 1. still live with my parents (I was 12 1/2 when I came first out) and 2. Have welcoming and supportive parents. Albeit a little oblivious at times. If you feel safe and ready to tell your parents, go for it, but don't force it if you aren't ready.

Congrats on getting a special person for yourself.

P.S. I thought you were A GUY when I'd first spoken to you.

(no hate, just honesty)

i am a bit tomboyish, so that's understandable
