Queer Book Club with Author Harrie Farrow Interview

[that-damn-girl]

Ok so my(early 20s) sister(16) came out to me this morning that she’s bi. So I’ve read a lot of threads this past few years where people talk about how they’ve come out to their close ones before their parents and how crucial this support was to them. I’ve always thought that it was cute, but now that it’s happened to me I’m freaking out. I obviously support her 100%, but I’m still afraid that I’ll do something that I shouldn’t do or something that I should’ve done but I’m not doing.

For context, I’m in college on literally the other side of the country. She told me about it last night over text (we hardly talk over phone) and I read it this morning. I instantly replied like it’s not a big deal, like being bi is common and she shouldn’t be afraid of anything. And that I support her. And that it’s good she can enjoy the best of both worlds. I asked her when she realised she was bi and she said a year ago. I apologized to her if she thought that it was unsafe  to come out to me or that I’d not support her or I’d be judgmental for a year. 

She also asked me to not tell our parents. I obviously won’t until she wants to have this conversation with them. The thing is, my parents are kinda strict but not that strict but they’re definitely not open minded enough to accept that either of their children could be bi, or a part of the lgbtqia+ community. I’ll support my sister no matter what, but I’m 99% sure my parents won’t.

I know that I’m gonna fight for my sister with everything that I have and support her in everyway possible, but yeah I’m not ready for the kind of emotional toll it’s gonna bring on her when either our parents won’t take her seriously enough, or call it a phase or some other stupid shit, or they’ll scold her instead for entertaining these notions, or they’ll blame each other for her turning out that way. I know that doesn’t make sense and I can’t predict what’s exactly gonna happen, but I know for sure that they won’t accept it. 

Long story short, I want my sister to know that I’ll support her and even if our parents won’t. I just wanna know if anyone thinks there’s something else that I can do. Or shouldn’t do. It’s not like I had a checklist prepared for all this. Some might say that she’s gonna be an adult soon and should handle her problems and all that. But she’s still a kid and my baby sister and I’m protective af of her and I won’t stop looking after her no matter how old she gets. Hope I made sense. So yeah I need your help.

Question: "Since the B in LGBT stands for "bisexual," doesn't that imply that there are only 2 genders?" Perfect response: "Does bilingual mean that there are only 2 languages?"

Annoyed by the whole language debate over whether bi/pan women can use butch or femme. Just another way to push bi women out of the community.
