Help how do I come out to my parents

I just recently (like a year ago) found out I was queer. I’ve told some of my friends and I actually have the best girlfriend ever, but I have no clue how to come out to my parents.. they have not been the most supportive of the LGBTQIA2S+ community and I don’t have the best relationship with them and idk what to do.

last year I first came out as bi to my friends. and my parents got this thing where they can see everything I search up and I had searched stuff up about what I was feeling and they confronted me about it. they said all this stuff about how “being queer is bad for your mental health” “the community isn’t accepting” “a you shouldn’t be queer you should just be normal” and that was over me thinking I was bisexual… I’m horrified of what they might do if I tell them I’m lesbian… and I honestly don’t also know how to tell people either. I just need some help honestly

Hi. Sorry to hear about your parents. The first thing that comes to my mind, would be around safety. How safe would you be if you decided to come out to them? If things didn’t go so well, would you have somewhere safe to go to? Just a few things to consider. As regards coming out to anyone else, ie. friends, please don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Take your time and prioritise your needs. Wishing you the best, take care of yourself 🌹

idk I’m kinda stuck with them until I turn 18 but most of my friends are very supportive which is so amazing
