So I am bi-romantic. I've told my sister bc we are super close and few close friends. I completely trust my parents and the fact that they'll support me, but I just don't know how to come out? Like, whats the best time or place and how do I say it? I'm also nervous that they won't understand completely what bi-romantic is and kinda brush it off.
It is great that you have a good trusting relationship with your parents. That will make the process of coming out much easier for you. There really is no set protocol for coming out, it is something that you do when you have the time to talk about it. This is not a conversation you want to be rushed. Perhaps you can start off by saying "I have something to tell you that I would really appreciate your support with." This way they are prepared to provide support. After you tell them be sure to ask if they have any questions, this way you can clarify anything they do not understand. If you want to chat about this or anything else give us a text or call anytime at 888-222-2228.
I am also bi-romantic and I told my parents about one of my friends who is bi-romantic. They were kinda suprised that it is a thing and they thought it was kinda dumb. I'm glad i brought it up by talking about someone else because this way I got their honest opinions. I feel like they might make fun of me if i were to come out now.
This is a safe space to share what's on your mind and to get support from real people.
