Why am I so scared of coming out when I know my family fully supports LGBTQ rights?

Unfortunately, not everyone's family supports the LGBTQ community so you've probably heard some stories of children being rejected or disowned for coming out. This can have a really negative effect on how we view the process of coming out to our families and even if we are certain that they will support us, there might still be a little nagging voice of 'what if'. This is a completely normal reaction and it's okay to feel like that. But you know you're family best, if you believe they are accepting they probably will be. Don't let the experiences of others shape your own experiences.
