Not Telling
Posted by I kind of came out to my friends, I guess? I have a girlfriend and I told a handful of my pals about her and they were all really chill about it. The twist is, most of my friends just happen to be not heterosexual in some way. I had no idea about their sexualities, but one by one, they all came out as not heterosexual or just popped up with girlfriends (I only have female friends, sad) out of nowhere.
I've had plenty of people come out to me and I didn't mind at all, but then again, being homosexual myself, it would be peculiar if I did have a problem with others coming out.
Anyway, I've seen many situations where the parents are openly homophobic, but turn out to be more accepting once they find out their own child doesn't identify as straight. But this isn't the case with everyone. If I were you, I'd skip out on informing my parents at the moment, because things could get dicey easily. However, when you do decide the right time to come out to your parents, I would recommend you prepare for any scenario to play out, with the worst case being you getting kicked out of the house and exiled from the family.
