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

Why is this question in the bullying section? That's what I want to know and secondly, If there are reasons for you not to, (i.e financially dependent on them then maybe it wouldn't be a good idea) But, maybe when you are independent of them and you feel you must then that would be okay.

You're worried about their reaction which is normal but keep in mind being gay is not a choice it's a natural and your parents will understand

Because you feel as though you'd be disappointing them, which you are not. You want to be different but you're afraid of being judged because of it

You might be worried about how they will take it. More often than not however, parents are sympathetic.

There is no reason why you shouldn't. Most parents are accepting and will love you just the same. However, you may live in a homophobic community, and if you don't want to deal with that "hate" it might not be safe, and it is probably a better idea to wait. But, the choice is completely up to you, and you can come out whenever you feel comfortable.

Sometimes coming out as Gay can be hard. However, in my experience I find that when someone has confidence in their sexuality its helps when they come out to people.

Coming out as gay is a difficult thing for all of us to do. You constantly will be worrying about if they aren't going to accept you for who you are or if they are going to look at you any differently, or even if your parents will be ashamed of who you are. There will be so many thoughts going round your head and that is understandable. However, there should not be any fear when it comes to coming out as gay, your parents should love you and respect you for the person you are. You are their pride and joy. No matter your sexuality they should love, respect and treat you exactly the same. It is scary but it will be okay.

You may not be able to come out to your parents for being gay is because your afraid what will happen after you tell them and things they may say, being judgmental and possible criticism and unsupportive in your journey and seeking help.

Maybe because you are afraid of how they would react. But honestly speaking to your parents, you'll be their child no matter what. There is nothing wrong in being a gay. Maybe initially they would have a different reaction not because they disapprove of you being a gay but because they might take time to gulp down a fact that they didn't know, something that's new to them. So don't worry..
