my mom has a gay friend, so i think she would be okay, but i don't know about the rest of my family (i see my dad and my stepmom on the weekends). i don't know if they would accept me or not..

to be honest i will probably just wait until i'm in college so i can move out and possibly come out, since i dont know what would happen if i told them now.

or maybe i could ask them about opinion about gays, lgbt, etc.

another thing i forgot to mention is that i'm not completely sure i'm gay, sometimes i feel like i'm extremely gay, and other times not. i don't have feelings for anyone atm.

ive been thinking of asking my transmasc friend for advice on how he came out and how it went.

You could maybe tell your mom but you should prob wait until you can leave to tell you dad and stepmom

I hid my feelings and aspects of my personality for many years. I got internalised homophobia from it. Only now later in life having accepted it and having told the people closest to me do I know feel more me. You don’t need to tell anyone if you don’t want to. However don’t hide it completely or from yourself.

#

you can try to bring the topic by asking about your mom's gay friend

#

to see their opinion about him

#

that may be seen as curiosity more than trying to ask and opinion about the community

#

about the other thing

#

you dont have to know everything about yourself

#

especially if ur still young

#

you'll get to know more about urself as you grow up

#

(srry 4 assuming ur young btw, maybe ur older than me lol)
