I’m 17 and I’ve always known that I am bi, ever since I was a little kid but it took me a while (for various reasons) to come to terms with it. I came out to myself/accepted myself last June, came out to my twin sister last August, and came out to my best friend in December. Now I need to come out to my parent. I’ve wanted to tell them for months but I really don’t know how to. They aren’t religious/opposed to the LGBTQIA+, but I know the rest of my family (grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.) are very not accepting which is what I’m worried about. I love my family, but having known that they don’t accept the community at all/only accept it slightly, it makes it really hard to want to tell people. I’ll obviously tell my parents not to tell the rest of my family but I have to tell them at some point? I just really don’t know what to do. I’ve always thought it was really obvious that I’m bi, but my sister said she never thought I would be and I have a feeling my parents will be equally, if not far more, shocked than my sister. I’ve asked around and some people say to write a letter to my parents, but that’s not really what I want to do. Any advice??
