I was arguing w parents and they started talking bad abt gay ppl and regurgitating fox news word vomit and i just spit out “im gay” i later clarified bi but i feel so weird. They acted normalish i guess but im scared theyre going to think about it more and cut me off or something. I have surgery on my leg 2 weeks from now too and im going back home and theyre gonna take care of me 😭 greatttt timing. I mean i am a chronic loner and have never dated anyone for real. The stats are not in my favor so why did i even say anything. Its not like ill ever find someone so why even say anything. If i had a gf or literally even have had a gf i could justify it but i feel kinda stupid. Like its a big part of my life. And i want love and all the things. I just feel so scared. Thats the bottom line and i know i didnt do anything wrong. Because being gay is lit af and i love it 😭 but god. Dad saying “i wish you werent but ill deal with it”. Could be worse but it still hurt so bad. And the little stuff im worried about. Will they hug me the same? I dont think my sexuality is any of their business (i know im a total hypocrite rn) but. A part of me wanted to … idk be honest? Its not even that… just like make them see all these gay people theyre hating on are closer than they think…. Lololll. It totally is a huge part of my life…. And my identity… but do they even need to know about that side of me? I guess its more than the literal being bi. But maybe the social implications too. Why i felt so compelled to blurt it out.

Any tips or similar situations you guys have experienced ?

As the title implies, I’m in my early 20s, and looking for advice to come out. I’m masc, so no one will really see it coming, and was wondering if anyone would mind sharing their own experiences. Would appreciate it a lot 🙏🏻

This is just a random account I made to vent but I think I might be pan. I’ve been a straight ally my whole life but for the last year or so I’ve felt like I didn’t only like girls. I’ve been researching stuff and I realized that the pansexual label might fit me best, but I’m too afraid to actually come out. I know my family would gladly accept me (although my brother would definitely flame me) but I don’t know about my friends. We are all immature teens and I can’t fully tell if they are homophobic or not. I’m also not fully comfortable with showing it at school. I live in the Midwest, (although my city is democratic) but half of my school would nail me to the wall if I came out, so I don’t know. What do I do? How do I come out? How do I manage feelings? Pls help me Reddit I’m so confused
