So if you've ever asked me about coming out to parents i would've said "wait until you at least have your own place if you're not sure how they'll react"
Now the problem arises....... I am getting my own place.
Got any advice for lost boy?

branch of sin So if you've ever asked me about coming out to parents i would've said "wait until you at least have your own place if you're not sure how they'll react" Now the problem arises....... I am getting my own place. Got any advice for lost boy? Well there's really no good time to do it, but there's definitely bad times to do it. Just make sure to avoid any big events or Holidays, especially if they don't revolve around you (IE: A sibling's birthday). I would pull them aside one day, sit them down, and just tell them. It's best if you have all the facts together before hand: "The bible never actually calls it a sin", "I know all about being safe and using protection", "Well, how do you know you're straight?"etc. It's also good to refer them to the PFLAG website where they can get a lot of their questions answered. Even better they can join a local PFLAG group with you. Of course it's best not to rush it all at them at once, but take things nice and easy. Most of all just remember they love you, and only want what's best for them.

branch of sin Thanks Robbie this helped alot. plus an ellen moment is a good moment Of course, I'm here any time you need me. I know how difficult it can be to come out, but I wish you the very best. Let us know how it goes if you decide to tell them. Also, remember you don't have to tell them right now. There's no rush, just take it slow and make sure you're in a good place before you do it.
