How do u tell your family that you're gay when your whole family is catholic???

Question

How do u tell your family that you're gay when you have mexican parents and they're catholic too?????

Answer 1

Pray for yourself and your family. Be honest and up front. Trust in their love for you. Many gay Catholics have faced the same challenge.

Remember the Catholic Church believes there is nothing sinful about being homosexual. But homosexuals like all unmarried people are called to celibacy.

The Church specifically says, "They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided."

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

First, read "Always Our Children" readily available via google. Personally, I think it's arrogant as all get out for someone ELSE to tell ME what God is calling me to do, so I don't really buy it. But know the official stance nonetheless. The other thing is, know your parents. My mother had already told me that while she does go to Catholic church, and wouldn't consider going anywhere else, it is because Catholicism is as close to her beliefs as she thinks it can get; but not 100%. If you're ready, and especially if you're no longer financially dependand on them (or for that matter, emotionally dependant on only them; have some friends ready to talk to), I'd say just give it a shot.

Answer 3

I'm catholic and i know how it is in the law abinding family. even if you're gay, as long as u follow the commandments, then they can't punish u right? it'll be a hard life without getting to marry or make love... and that's the saddest part so dont worry too much about them accepting u. they love u

Answer 4

Hey, my macho boyfriends son is gay and his dad dont have a clue. When he comes out, I am headin for the hills. Some things are better left unsaid. Are you sure you are ready to let the cat outa the bag?
Your moms still gonna love you even if your dad don't, but why put her through it. Just live your life and eventually your parents will catch on.
Maybe bad advice, but I am trying to help you keep the peace.

Answer 5

well, I'm not sue it i am catholic, Christian, or either Protestant....but i do go to Church...

And although people i know have argue with me cuz sometimes i think different of the bible...because a celebrate Halloween but yet i just refer to it as candy and not devils birth day and i don't see the problem with gay, lesbians and both..or the point that some people also make such a big deal about the harry potter movies..

Anyways my point is that i don't know why it is such a big deal to catholic or .....whatever
....
anyways their your parents.....they're not gonna kill you, best thing to do is just to do it and get it over with..

p.s i am not responsible for the outcome..

Answer 6

Your family will love you for who you are not what you are. Sure it will be hard for them to hear but deep down they probably already know. Just be prepared for the worst. That is going against everything they have been taught. Sweetie you can't hide who you are forever if you do then you will never be happy. Give them time to adjust that is a biggie. Sit them down and let them know you love them and that you can not deny who you are any more and tell them. GOOD LUCK

Answer 7

No different wheter you're catholic, Hindu, or Moslem......Sometimes parents couldn't accepted their son is gay....If you want to tell them then you must prepare for the consequence

Answer 8

I'm not trying to trivialize but you tell them when your in a position not to be totally dependent on them and if they can't except you at first, you give them the time they need to deal with it. If they can't deal with it they can't be in your family. Family are those who love you for who you are. Many of us have been where you are, and it's always so very hard.

Answer 9

move far away, but before you go, leave a not in their bible telling them that your gay. Is it the best solution? no. But atleast you'll have enough of a head start to hope that they learned to accept you by the time they catch you.
