Coming out to my family 😔

[scenic night]

So my little cousin has already technically came out to my (conservative) family and they did NOT take it well at all- especially my grandpa, he is the most republican out of my immediate family.

My parents know that pretty much all of my friends are either ally’s or in the LGBT community and my mom will ask me if people are “gay” or not and I will explain in full detail. The only person in my family that know about my sexuality is my cousin (same one that came out from the paragraph above)

I feel like if I come out to them, two things will happen. Either one, they will be all like “oh, we knew all along” or two, they will be all like “no daughter of mine will be gay.”

And I’ve hid this fact since like 6th grade and i feel like it’s about time I tell them.

But then also I will have to explain what omnisexual is and what gender-fluidity is and that sounds really annoying to explain.

Oh and also I wanna tell them that I want to start going by Kit too, (alongside my biological name) but don’t know how to go about it :<

HELPP 🙏🙏

I wish you luck Kit

As for the name thing, bring it up in a convo as a “nickname” to start with. That way they’ll get more used to the idea, and start calling you it more. When you finally feel safe or comfortable enough to come out, just tell them you’d like to be called Kit as a name as well, not just a nickname.
