My dad is really homophobic, he says stuff like LGBTQ+ is a mental disease, I am trans and gay, I have been for the last 5 months, and I'm really scared to tell him, idk what to do, can someone help?
#I don't know if I should come out to my dad

as you gave me tips i can try and do the same, if your dad is openly expressing his feelings for the LGBTQ community then i dont think its best for you to talk to him at the moment, especially when your confidence in this is not the highest. give it some time to where your more open and when you think its right, bring up the topic. if when you feel ready he still thinks the same, i personally would talk to him myself, because maybe hearing it from his child will changr his mind

You could be right, I was thinking of talking to my uncle about it, he is openly bisexual (he's on my mother's side) so he would support me, so then I'll have to talk to my dad about it
Thanks for the advice by the way

no problem! since your uncle is openly bisexual i think you should go to him about everything that concerns you. you need all the allies you can get

You got a pretty good answer already, but I do also want to add that you're not required to come out, especially if you won't be safe when you do. If your dad might kick you out or become abusive or try conversion therapy then it's not worth coming out.
If you do want to though you should set up a safety net with you uncle so you can stay with/rely on him if anything happens.
