my family is rather homophobic and transphobic and im scared that they'll just "tolerate me"
Funny enough, I didn't exactly come out to my family either, but I'm also not really hiding it. I would assume the rainbow flags in my home, my annual trips to NYC to see Broadway shows, and the whole "not having a opposite sex romantic partner ever" should be big enough hints for my family, if they are not too dense.
well the only one family member who know are my mom and stepfather, that's due to some....unfortunate circumstances, however, they believe that im gay, im bi. like a year ago I had a girlfriend so that threw them off and im pretty sure they think that it was probably just a phase, im pretty open about it with my co-workers tho bc they are very openly accepting of it. my family not so much, aside from my mom but i still am hesitant about telling her.
its comments that my family make that just really don't make me want to come out to them. there's a kid in my neighborhood in mexico who wears dresses and acts very fem, my family makes comments about how "ridiculous / hideous he looks" or to just "keep it private". bless his soul and I wish him the best, it takes some serious balls to be that flamboyant in mexico
and it's shit like that that just really petrifies me and doesn't want to make me come out
