So, as far as I know my mother isn't homophobic or transphobic or anything like that, and she was actually keen on learning some from my queer sister. I think I am genderfluid and omnisexual and I don't think she has any problems with it but I kinda feel liek she's not gonna accept me. I've jokingly asked her what she would do if I just wanted to start wearing dresses and she said it'd be wierd and that she would have to get used to it, and I think she's suspected me of not being straight for a while now but I kinda feel uncomfortable coming out. It might not be her though, as my father isn't very pro or anti LGBT. He has stated that I am his only son, and I feel as if I come out to him he will be disappointed and somewhat unhappy with me. He hasn't said anything against anyone but I kinda feel as though it's palpable sometimes. I think it's just a giant jump into something I have no knowledge of. I think if I did and they didn't accept me it would suck but I'm not gonna get thrown out or anything, my parents are also divorced so I wouldn't have to deal with my father so much. I'm just not sure, I need some help please.
#Should I come out to my parents?

for your mom,
it sounds like you can come out and be safe and have a supportive parent in the equation, so I would recommend coming out to at least her
for your dad,
if you feel safe around him maybe ask him sometimes his thoughts on lgbtqia+ community and people and if it seems like he would at the very least tolerate it then I encourage you to come out.
While I love to encourage people being themselves, I also want to make sure that you are safe, and if anything happens just let us know and we will try to help.
good luck!
Thank you. I'll try
i would agree
I've been building the courage and maybe do it soon idk
