  • Depends on them. And even then it can be risky but you'll have to tell them eventually. I'm not a lesbian, but I can say what happened to my older sister who is.
    Our whole lives our parents have been racist bigots. Somehow, their beliefs didn't pass down to my sister and I. (This might be because my sister and I are Hispanic because my mother CHOSE to sleep with a Mexican man and marry him resulting in us). After our parents divorced we were reminded nearly daily of how terrible other races were. Granted out father beat put mother constantly, but us being Hispanic and not bad people ourselves we assumed this was a load of crock. There are good people and bad people. Race has nothing to do with it.

    Anyway she hated the LGBT community as well, I personally don't give a flying flap what you do in the bedroom. None of my business. I have a partner, he's a male, we're happy, that's all I need to know.

    Now I had always suspected my sister was gray. Like she always particularly liked the FEMALE superheroes, and when we played barbies when we were younger, mine always ended up married... hers didn't. Stuff like that. But I never mentioned it. Didn't want to upset her, or make her feel like I was accusing or anything. Also, I didn't care. Heck, all it meant to me was that I'd never have to worry about her trying to sleep with my boyfriend. Fine by me.

    Anyway she didn't even officially come out to ME until she moved out of our parents house at the age of 21, which she was always then goody goody daughter, perfect grades, beautiful, always listening to mom. I was the bad one tbh, so I understand why it was hard for her. For ME I was like "oh Is this news to you? I knew since barbies" and made a joke of it. I didn't want her to feel like I was disapproving though. Shortly after this she introduced ME to her girlfriend.

    Fast forward to Thanksgiving, she finally told our parents. At the time she was working for our step fathers company and they were paying for her college. My parents didn't take it well. They fired her and refused to pay for her education any further until she went to conversion therapy which she did when she realized she had nothing else to do and nowhere else to go. (At the time my own boyfriend and I had moved in together and were hiding it from my parents since we aren't married but I couldn't afford another mouth to feed). SPOILER ALERT: SHE'S STILL A LESBIAN.

    She's been pretending to be straight ever since.
    . my point is, is that perhaps wait until you're financially stable enough to care for yourself if they're intense bigots. Some parents just don't care. And if need be, you'll want to be able to care for yourself

  • Depends on how your parents feel about bi-/homosexuality. If they're supportive/positive about it, then there should be no risk in you telling them directly, and bluntly. Something along the lines of, "I have a confession to make. I like girls. I'd rather have a girlfriend than a boyfriend", however you'd like to word it.

    If they're not so supportive or if you're unsure, then it might be a better idea to either drop subtle hints or ask hypothetical questions to be able to test the waters before you come out to them. Maybe pick a time where lighthearted jokes are being passed around, then pipe in with "what would you do if I brought a girl home?" And make sure your expression suggests you're (at least) mostly joking. Gauging their reactions will tell you if it's safe to tell them.

  • Get them to watch this... Maybe they will get the message.
