So my parents are both Christian, my mum already said she’d accept me but my dad is a lot more serious about stuff. Last week he was making so many homophobic statements around being gay, etc. I don’t want to tell my mum as she’ll probs tell my dad. Worst part is I have a bf so I fear I may jeopardise our relationship by coming out to my parents
#How do I come out to parents?

I can’t tell you what to do because it’s your decision but I can tell you my opinion.
I think that if you feel safe with telling your mum or both your parents than you should, if you want to. You also can keep it a secret if you don’t have the urge to tell them constantly like I have (it’s much more harder that way)
Maybe when you come out to your mother and tell her not to tell your father or anyone else because you don’t want to, she won’t tell your father. But you have to know that she could still tell your father even if you ask her to. So if you’re sure she will respect it than go for it but if not then maybe not tell her if you don’t want you father to know.
About your boyfriend, it’s important that you shouldn’t care if your parents approve your relationship or not but if you think they’ll force you to break up with him or something like that but you still want to come out to them then maybe don’t tell them about your boyfriend.
Hope this helps a bit 😄

Yo !
Maybe you can try to tell to your parents that you have a queer friend (who they dont know)
If they reaction is good then tell them if you want
If their react is bad then dont
Youre not in the obligation to come out to your parents
