So my family is very religious and I’m not exactly sure if I should come out, i honestly mainly just wanna come out as bi, as I don’t really care about my family not knowing I’m non-binary. I recently got a partner, and he’s trans (ftm) which I ofc have no problem with and love him very much, I’m pretty serious about this relationship even if it’s long distance. I’ve been thinking of telling my mom that I’m with him now, cause they know he’s been one of my closest friends for a while now. I don’t think my mom will react too badly, especially since she seems more open to the idea of the lgbtq+ community recently, my only problem is my dad, I know she’ll tell him if I tell her, and I’m worried he might punish me or lash out, my dad has quite bad anger issues and often over reacts. I honestly really just wanna get it off my chest to my family, but I’m unsure of if I should take the risk or not. :((

In my opinion, if you don’t feel safe coming out, don’t come out. Coming out requires that feeling of safety and protection. If you feel that will be jeopardized by coming out, don’t come out until you have a back up
