LGB&T's can you help me?

Question

I am in need of help! I am a bisexual male and I have to say as of right now I am comfortable with myself. The only person I have told about my bisexuality is my mother. I knew she wouldn't mind but still for a while I felt a little uncomfortable around her. I want to tell my close family member like my (Grandmother, 2 aunts, and 3 cousins) but I think I will be uncomfortable around them. I have a good relationship with all of them and I don't think any would mind but i'm not sure yet. I think I am comfortable telling my 1 aunt, grandmother, and 2 cousins right now but i'm not sure about the other cousin and aunt. What should I do? I think I want my mother there for moral support but i'm so confused right now. What did you all do?

Sports > Hockey - Huh?

Answer 1

Hey,

I discovered that I was bisexual when I was seventeen and had asked the same question to myself. The answer that I came up with was "why does it matter if people know or don't know?"

Sexual orientation is a personal matter. If people mind it, then tell them too bad, and if they don't, then hey, that's fine.

Answer 2

Share your feelings with who you love and trust. If you're not ready to come out as bisexual, then don't. Your family should love and accept you, no matter what your sexual orientation is. If certain family members find it hard to accept, let them know you love them, all you need is their acceptance. Being bisexual doesn't make you a bad person, so be comfortable with yourself. :-)

Answer 3

I agree with the person above, that your sexuality is something personal. I am straight, but I'd imagine this is a very hard situation, and i have had a couple friends who had a similar situation. If its really eating you up, tell your family about it, and ask for their support. Tell them its the same you.

please answer mine =)

Answer 4

Take your time, and think it through.

I haven't come out to any of my family yet (I'm 18, and bi). I figure that there's time yet for that.

Think about if you can handle feeling uncomfortable with them, and if you want to keep it from them any longer.

Start with the ones who you think will take it best and go from there.  

Answer 5

if you were heterosexual, would you tell all these people or let them figure it out for themselves?  (my personal problem in not understanding why people feel the need to come out.)

i personally did not bother to tell anyone anything except those people with whom i had a relationship that could turn sexual. years later , i still feel no compulsion to tell people my sexual orientation just because they exist.
