I came out
I finally came out today. It took me 15 years to finally admit who I am to my family. I dont know why i did it. I just did.. I was cornered then I just did it.. I know they’re very religious and homophobic but I still did and this is who I am..
As expected, they’re not taking it very well. Saying things like:
- you’re a disgrace to our family
- dont you get embarrassed to your brothers that you’re a lesbian?
- if you knew a long time ago that you’re like that, you should have prayed that g will make you straight and go to the right path
- if you’re a lesbian, you can’t have a girlfriend cause that’s not acceptable, you should control it
- you go to church every sunday but yet you’re like that?
- we have a nice family, you’re going to be the one to destroy it
- you can’t, you can’t be like that.
- you should stop and control for it, it can still be fixed. Just pray
- you’re ruining your life
- don’t you get disgusted that you like another girl?
- i kept praying and praying for you to have a good life, to have a boyfriend, but yet you’re the one contradicting it
- how are you going to get old? Who’s going to take care of you? You’re going to be alone. You won’t have any kids, you won’t have a family.
- you say “that’s just who i am, and i tried to not be” like you’re proud of it????
…and so many more that I can’t even register to my head anymore. I did not shed a tear yet, i haven’t talked to my girlfriend (i think i will then if i talked to her)
I know it’s going to be bad. Everyone in my family will hate me and be disgusted by me. But…i still had a little tiny tiny hope that they will still accept and love me for who i am. But i guess i was wrong..
I kept quiet the whole time.
Idk if i made the right thing to do or i should have just waited a bit more.. i’m 30(F)
