I'm pansexual and genderfluid and i would really like to come out to my parents. I know my parents aren't homophobic (i have a lesbian aunt and they fully accept and support her and her wife <3) but i dont know what they will think that their own child is queer. i came out to my mom as a lesbian (i was confused i have a wonderful boyfriend now) and she didn't kick me out and hate me or anything but i could see she saw me differently. any tips on how to come out to them?

If you need time to think an answer or you feel the other person does, communicate it and wait or do another thing until you can retake the conversation

If you don’t feel like talking to both at once, maybe seek help from your aunt first ans get tips and maybe her support if needed, so you would have a backup just in case. And if it feels easier, talk to them about it alone in person(one at once), to make things feel easier. Thats at least what I do when I have problems asking or telling them something, but not feeling like being able to tell both of them at the same time. Of course these are just ideas, so do with it what you want.
