@13burningroses wants some advice to come out to her homophobic mom, got any?
I’m going to reply to this out of character and in text, I hope that is okay. I’d love to give a motivational “Just do it!” speech about being yourself and how you should never hide who you are, but honestly I have no idea what this person’s situation is like so I’m just going to give advise for a worst case scenario, assuming she still lives with her mother. I don’t want to get anyone in trouble by telling them to just come out, risking the fact they might be in a dangerous place. With her mother being homophobic, I’m sure it’ll be really tough to come out. The best case scenario would be for her mother to change her mind about gay people and to love her daughter unconditionally no matter what her sexual and/or romantic preferences may be, but unfortunately that’s not always the case right away. So then what is the worst case scenario, and is she prepared for that to happen? There are some pretty tragic coming out stories out there, and I don’t want to scare anyone off but I do want people to be aware of it. Do not come out if it’s not safe for you to do so! If you’re afraid your family might abuse you, kick you out of your house or even disown you, do not come out unless you are able to support yourself at least financially. That would be my advise. Coming out in an unsafe environment is never something I’d recommend. Better safe than sorry!@13burningroses Please be safe and take care! ~ Sky//Marco
