if your going to get kicked out. and your sure of it dont say anything. i mean your parents would only kick you out becuase they are mad. so you would not only have mad parents but you would also be homeless. i think you should wait it out till you kknow you'll have a place and you'll be fine. but if you want to tell them, you can tell them one on one so that way you wont feel ganged up on. just sit one of tem down and blurt it out. thats going to be the hardest part, just starting it. but once you start it, it hould all be down hil from there.. but thats just my advice.. it might be wrong for you or it might help ou out a lot.. if you want some more you can eitehr write somethign in here or send me a pm

Yea step one make sure you have a place to stay just to be safe.

I took both my parents on at once, and it was fine, just be ready to answer lots of questions and don't try and sound arrogant or superior.

most questions...
How long have you known?
Why now?
Are you sure?
Who have you been dating to be sure?


most arguments...

it's not like straight marriage! Yes it is!!
What about Aids? Wreck-less people get aids.

STAY AWAY from the bible situation.

just try to stay calm and answer the questions politely. Kill them with kindness so they look like the bad ones, but chances are they allready know ur gay or bi.

let me know how it goes.

I just don't think I could ever tell my parents. They would kill me. Oh well....livingin the closet is better than suicide...isn't it?

Well Tell us how it goes, and what you have planned, I do hope for the best with this situation, but know this, it wont be all over in one day, it's a long progress, depends on the person your telling, but overall it's worth it, because you will no longer have the burden of hiding yourself so much anymore <3

1. if your parents are going to kick you out they need A LOT of help!
2. I would try going to barnes and noble books and sneak to the gay lesbian section and find some books about how to come out to parents or how parents should deal with homosexual children.
3. if you are for sure ready to come out to them have a few friends that already know with you to support you and comfort you.
4. they're your parents and they have to love you no matter what, and if they don't then they aren't really good parents. and that should be a point to give to them if you come out to them.
5. you don't have to come out to them right away, take your time and when the time feels right, tell them. Tell them when your out of the house and living on your own (those were my plan until my mom found out lol, thank god she was ok with it.)
6. im sure my advice didnt help a whole lot but just remember if you have any other questions, ask them. thats what this group is for right? We're allin this together, trying to get through life and avoiding the false stereotypes and hate. I wish you the best of luck whenever you decide to tell them! biggrin
