Why can't I come out to my parents about being gay?

Your parents might feel as if they need to try and change you. There is NOTHING wrong with you. You are an absolutely perfect human being who has a heart. But you have the right to be scared. But, nonetheless, they should love you unconditionally.

i didnt feel safe enough to come out to my parents as bisexual as they are very homophobic. however i told my best friends who were very accepting of me and in the end, my boyfriend. sometimes you dont need your blood family to accept you or know everything about you. sometimes you have to make a new family

I think it is because you are afraid of them judging you. There is absolutely nothing wrong with homophilia, and if they react bad, its their problem, not yours.

That's a very big step in life, one that is quite fearsome. In some sense things will change forever, they may look at you differently, they may not be as accepting as you'd like. It's impossible to know without looking within yourself and your past, there is no blanket answer and it's something you should talk about in detail.

You can, you just need to find the right time to do so... if you tell them and you really feel this way they will accept that is you.

sometimes it is hard to express the way we feel, especially in front of those whose opinions we value. It is important to remember that you will be loved no matter what and those that care about you will always support you

It can be hard to come out. Your parents love you, and they should accept you how you are. There is nothing wrong with being gay, it's the way you are and feel. You can come out, because I believe in you.

You can, it's just a matter of personal preference. I came out to my parents about six months ago being bi, and they are working on accepting me. It's a slow process but it continues to progress slowly.

You can come out to your parents it's just that your scared to. Maybe because you think they won't love you anymore or they don't want you or they will judge you. It takes a lot of strength to come out to anyone. I just want you to know that you're not alone and that there is nothing wrong with you. Everyone is different and unique.
