Ok, here's the predicament: I came out to my twin sister this fall, but nobody else knows. Mum knows I'm questioning, and even though she's supportive, she always acts like she's walking on eggshells when the topic is brought up, which makes me think she's not as supporting as she pretends. My dad seems grade A uncomfortable with the subject. I was thinking of waiting till college to come out to my parents, but at this rate I think it'll happen sooner than that. This, of course, will bring stress, uncomfortable discussions, and motherly fussing. Then my aunt (who's lesbian and a little insane) will probably say crude things or something equally embarassing. But I'm so sick of not being officially out. It feels like play acting, and I want to be able to be open about this (besides, I might react strongly to a picture of a girl, just like I did in my sister's room :: sweat drop :! Anyway, could I get some advice on coming out to the family?
Wow.....ok....I would pick a time when everyone is relaxed and in a good mood...and I would just tell them you have something important that you need to talk to them about...then proceed , but , no matter what they say you need to remaine calm , after all , they love you,,,and fear can seem verry much like anger . Let them vent , listen to what they are trying to say , it all mean the same thing , they love you and they are afraid for you because the world is not always a nice place for gays.
Don't feel like you have to tell them. Tell them when you're ready to do so. It'll make things a lot easier and a lot more comfortable. But you have your twin sister to confide in, which is great for you.
