I am 14, and g*y, how do i tell my parents?

Question

I am 14, and g*y, and my parents are christians and i'm not sure how they will take it if i tell them. What do you think i should do. I hate lying to them, but i would hate if they started acting weird around me too. so, idk. Thanks

Answer 1

You should first figure out what they think about it. If there's something on the news about g**s ask them what think about it. (but be subtle). I found out what my dad thinks about that when we watched the movie dodgeball. (there is a L*****n kiss at the end) My dad said, and I quote, "That's a darn shame; exposing kids to those alternate lifestyles." That's why I'm not planning on coming out till college.

Answer 2

the funny thing is most ppl that answer will have somthing negative to say

but none (most) of them have actually come out to a parent

i have.

i came out to my VERY homophobic christian [black, which sorta makes it worse] parents

i have to admit like will suck for alittle while

but ur parents in time will realize that u are their son and that they love you past ur sexual orientation.

AND NO NOT EVERYONE THINKS THEY ARE g*y AT 14!!!

also, after u come out [which is TOTALLY ur option don't let anyone tell u that u MUST or anything like that] u might want to take ur parents to a P-FLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians And g**s) meeting i kno it helped my mom deal with it.

good luck  

Answer 3

If you are sure then i would suggest start with friends. Find one person you know will accept you and tell them. Then you have one person you can talk to and rely on. As time goes by extend the people who know slowly. then by the time you are ready to tell your parents you have a whole support of friends behind you and it makes it easier.

Answer 4

You might want to keep this to yourself for right now. Your feelings might change. I don't have to tell you how people your age can be cruel, but they can. You have plenty of time to think about it and figure out later who you are meant to be. Good luck!

Answer 5

dont, keep it to yourself until your ready to move out. telling them will just cause awkwardness and all kinds of weirdness.

Answer 6

they probably won't take it very well. most parents don't. I'm just being honest, not trying to insult you. you should wait until you are done with college when ur like 21 or 22 because then you can financially support yourself, i know of a girl who told her christian parents that she was a L*****n, and her parents kicked her out when she was 18 (the age that you HAVE to legally take care of a child until) and they didn't talk to her again.

Answer 7

Tell them, but also explain to them that stereotypes aren't true, that you didn't choose it; use examples like "...why would I choose to be discriminated against daily..", "...why would I choose to be something that is punishable by death in some countries..." ect. Be aware that it may be a hard thing for your parents to accept, and that it will come over time. Though one thing I wish I would've done when I came out is explain what being g*y really is, and to clear up any stereotypes ect.

Answer 8

If you're ready to get out of the "closet", then I would suggest that you bring up a topic about g**s to your parents simply to see their reaction. Find something to open the discussion to see their feelings towards that type of lifestyle. From there, trust your instinct.

It might be better for you to be closeted until you leave the house for college before you tell your parents. But be yourself and good luck.

Answer 9

It is true many believe and think about their sexuality early in their life. Take a few steps to see if homosexuality is what you want. Please disregard any idiot before me people can fully tell their sexuality at the age 14. If you really think you are just tell your parents when your move out as others have said or just dont think about it

Answer 10

Well wtf do you expect. Your g*y of course your parents are going to start acting weird around you once you tell them. Your putting the image of buttsex and you in their head. Why dont you just try to find a chick that looks and acts like a guy ands likes a b/f that acts g*y. You know there are lots of those, and then you can still think your g*y but not be g*y. Problem solved.  

Answer 11

When did your parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts start telling you about their sexual preferences?!!

Please grow up and stop being a drama queen!!!

Answer 12

Everyone thinks they're g*y when they're 14. You might be straight and confused. Hormones can cause you to feel things you might not feel when you're fully developed. I think it is far too early to come out to your parents. Wait until you are older an 100% sure. If they are hardcore Christians they will take it bad and you'll have to put up with it until you can move out. My advice = wait.
