My Parents told my Grandparents for me, I had gone home from holiday with them early and my parents said that they needed to know and that they would take care of it. I heard nothing of it till my parents got back, they then sat me down and told me that my grandparents were told and at least they were honest and said the first thing they asked was if I had considered therapy. "....." was my reaction.

Wow. What is with adults and therapy? It's not like they can medicate your sexuality out of you.

I know, but they honestly deep down they want what they think is best for me, and it doesn't matter what we think, they believe it works. They also believe being LGBT is immoral, but that's the time they came from. I don't believe we can truly change their beliefs but what we can do is prepare the younger generation, make and shape a better and most importantly safer world for those who'll come after.

Well, my coming out was.. an accident. My parents found me kissing my girlfriend at the time.

(My parents are Christians, as am I, I am just not blind to what the bible actually says) Needless to say, it did NOT end well. Things still haven't quite blown over. My mom accepts it now, just doesn't agree, and my dad just refuses to acknowledge it. My brother is gay so he's cool with it, and my sister doesn't think my sexual orientation exists. (I identify myself with Pansexual) As for my friends, only a handful know, and I don't plan on telling the others.

how did your family and friends react when you told them your sexuality? Are you planning to tell them?

Well family out here in Iowa not so good. They think I'm crazy and that I just want attention and should get over myself. Friends usually accept it and that's if they are truly my friend. I straight up tell people it when I first meet them.

It went great with me. Most of my family, except for my biological mom, is bisexual. They actually asked me first. My friends I surprised, but they were supportive. The only one I haven't told is my biological mom because she is very prestigious. I know she wouldn't like it, but I don't get along with her very well anyway, so it doesn't bother me that much.

My dad, well lets not mention him, saves a lot of ranting on my end.
Probably the first person I came out to was my best friend.
My grandma and mum were the two people I told next. I told my grandma then she told my mamma for me as I didn't really know how to sit down and talk to her about it.
Then comes my aunt, she just sat me down, asked if she could ask me a personal question, I don't hide things and yeah, just told her as it was and she's super supportive.
My guild on WoW know I'm out, and yeah I guess that gives me a little confidence, even if it is an online group of friends. 3nodding
