Backstory:
13 yr old, lives in a very homophobic area, NO LGBTQ+ friends to go to.
I've told one of my really close friends, but I just don;t know how to come out to my parents.
My older brother has made it very clear that he is very homophobic, and has said some things I wish nobody would ever say.
Any tips?

I would advise you that firstly you can atleast try to make your parents and brother just a little bit supportive to the community. If they still persist to be homophobic then I think you should delay coming out otherwise they could take drastic steps

If you want to come out to your parents what I would do first is talk about a show or something that has lgbtq characters in it and mention that a certain character is a part of the lgbtq community and see how your parents react, second if you do come out and they dont accept you, make sure you have a place to stay with someone who does accept you just incase your parents kick you out or something like that

I'm sure my parents would understand, they're not homophobic in the slightest. What I'm more worried about is my community (school, "friends") and my brother.
