Hiii im new to asking questions so how do i come out to my mother?
“You can see what she thinks about famous people who are gay or lesbian, if she reacts favorably; there’s a good chance she’ll support you. You can also see what she thinks about shows that have lesbian characters in them.”
“I told my mother that one of my friends was a lesbian. She said that someone should love whomever they wanted. When I heard that, I knew I could tell her I was a lesbian myself.”
“The only thing I can advise is to take it slow. Go to the person you feel closest to and come out to them first. You could inquire on how they feel about allyship with the LGBT community and come out to them if they take that well.”
“As a mom, I can tell you that MC was extremely nervous when she came out to me. If your mother loves you anywhere near as much as I do her, she’ll listen. Be honest and make sure you listen to her.”
“I had already came out as bisexual and knew that those I cared about would support me. Then I met my Dad and I didn’t even know when a good time to tell him would be. He had apparently done his research on me and already knew by the time Mildred Von Speier made her nasty comments in front of the committee board.”
“I was so relieved to know he had my back, but I’m aware that not everyone has that experience. I would test the waters to see how she feels about the LGBTQ+ community and decide how you want to proceed after that. Just know that family can be made, it doesn’t always come down to blood relations. Remember that you are not alone and that you are worthy of love, from everyone in your life.”
