So, as the title said, I really need some help coming out to my mother and step-father as a lesbian. My sister already knows. They aren't very religious, but both are Christians. They already aren't too supportive of my religion, since it's highly associated with evil (it's Wicca, or witchcraft). My mother has two lesbian friends and my aunt is a lesbian. I'm just really scared that they won't be supportive or won't accept that I like girls. Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks.

Hmm.. I did not have much luck coming out to my mom as "pansexual" because she associates anything but straight with: hell, ungrateful, devil, death, evil... bla...
But if I were you I'd probably lean on those who do support you for one.
Actually maybe you can talk to your aunt about it? Since maybe she'll know better how your mom will react and all.
I'd probably tread carefully and slowly... Or you could like.. leave a note for them and then go to school? Or wherever you may go?
It's almost always a touchy topic to bring up.. I just hope your parents are able to accept you.

Hm. That's actually a pretty good idea, asking my aunt for help. I will, the next time I see her. It won't be easy, since she lives across the state, but I'll try! Thanks!
