Hi, I’m new to this server and I came out to my parents last year. But now I’ve decided to come out to the rest of my family. My parents were chill about it, BUT I’m not sure what my other family would react…what do I do?
#How do I come out to my very Christian family?

Well that’s a difficult situation. You have to know that if you’re really come out to the rest of your family that there is a chance that they’ll not like it and are homophobic. The only good thing in this scenario is that you’re parents aren’t so there is not really a chance that you’ll get kicked out (except maybe the rest of your family convince them to kick you out but I don’t really think this will happen). In this scenario you could get cut off from the rest of your family or they’ll just drop homophobic comments all the time (which is shit).
But there is also a scenario where they could act like your parents (which is probably the best) and everything is fine.
Also they could just act like neutral and don’t really say something about it because they not really like it but love you (or something like that).
After all it’s your choice if you want to do it or not but as long as you’re sure you’re safe if you do it and you really want to then you should.

It’s been similar for other friends, my grandparents and uncles and people are strictly either catholic or Christian. I was talking to my uncle and casually slipped something about the girls and the gays into the conversation and he basically said he’d rather jump off a cliff than EVER talk to one or be around a gay person, so im taking it he’s a no go-
