To put it short my parents always say terrible things about gay people, they always try to push theyre views onto me and its so frustrating and annoying. They always say that however I end up they hust hope that im a conservative republican which is just the complete opposite of what I am. Im 16 and I want to come out soon to them because I dont want to feel like Im wasting my life but I’m scared that doing so will just lead them to being abusive. I already have a plan set if all goes bad but I’m just mainly concerned for my metal health, because its not only my family its my entire blood line. Plus I already have so many other things going on in my life im scared that its going to affect me really badly.
#how do i tell my hyper conservative, christain, trump supporting family that im gay.

If your parents are not supportive, and speak negatively about LGBTQ+ related topics, you are probably best off not coming out to them for now. You should wait and do it once you are legally an adult and are able to live completely independent from them. I know it’s very difficult to keep a secret like this from your parents, but you are probably best off staying in the closet for now.

but your probably right

You're better off not telling them for now than having them react negatively. Considering that they seem very opposed to LGBTQ+, there is a very high chance they could disown you, or send you to a conversion camp, or worse.
