Has it been hard for other people, that are a part of the LGBTQ community, to have an open relationship in front of parents/ loved ones, even though they know you are LGBTQ?

As a Gay Teen I experience massive passive pressure from my older brother. He doesn't say anything, but I know he will judge me if I come back home with a guy. It helps me remember that I live my life for myself, not for him. If I want to date a guy, I will.

Yes it is! No matter that I came out as a lesbian to my dearest friends I still feel uncomfortable when I am talking about my girlfriend with them as I feel like they are judging me deep inside. But I don't think it's true, probably your loved ones are happy you came out to them and they want you to be happy!v

Absolutely. There's a little tension between an LGBTQIA+ community member and general society, and that would definitely include family. There's always a fear of sudden rejection or being stereotyped, not to mention possibly being hurt by loved ones out of a sudden change of heart.

At times, it can be difficult. Even if some people in your family know that you are LGBTQ+, they may be less than approving or believe that your sexuality or gender is just a phase. Being out and in a relationship can be difficult to handle for any LGBTQ+ person, especially around your family. It is most important to remember that your identity is valid and to know that, no matter what anyone else thinks, they can't change who you are.

Yeah i still feel out of place even though i've been out for over a year now, luckily my girlfriends really supportive and doesn't get offended if i don't invite her places with my family.

Yes, the first partner you introduce after coming out is always a little strange for everyone. That's the moment when they forced to internalize it if they hadn't before.

It has been, yes. For me personally, it’s just the thought of having an open relationship in general, but I know that there are also people who experience this only with LGBTQ relationships, yes.

yes. many, many people struggle with that. you're not alone. parents/ loved ones just time and space to process and once they've had that they usually come around. be nice and ease them into it and things should go well. that is all I have to say so I hope this helps! stay strong, be nice and share the love

You are definitely not alone in this situation. I have felt this way too. It can especially be hard if it is your first homosexual relationship. It is important to remember that there is nothing wrong with who you choose to love. I am sure your parents want to see you happy, no matter who you choose to love. It is important to be open and honest with those around you. Communication is key and could definitely give you some answers you may need. Your happiness is important, don't forget that. You are not alone in this situation and there are many people who care about you!
