Is it ok to reveal that im gay eventhough my parents strictly oposes it?

Answer 1

Morally yes, you should and deserve the freedom to share this with your parents.

However I've known and heard cases where grown children who did such were forced through parents, through threats of kicking their kids out of the house or refusing to pay college tuition - the kids didn't have any financial resources on their own and were full-time students, if their children did not undergo special counselling, exorcism and such for it.

My concern is that you parents will dig a tighter rein onto you and make your freedom and life harder if you come out.

Sorry about your situation with parents whom really are against it, you deserve to be able to let them know. You know your parents better. Please decide, analyze and reflect on this slowly.

well first of all, if you are in any danger, or if u think u might be kicked out of your home, or your parents may do something drastic, i think the best thing to do would be to stay in the closet, but if you really want to tell them heres a few things to keep in mind. will you be safe? if your kicked out of your home do you have a place to go? do you have money? can you support your self? Will you be able to continue school? if you answer no to any of those questions, you make want to re-think this, its hard being in the closet, i know but once you come out, for some people, espically people who still stay with their parents, things become harder. so before you reveal anything to anybody, make soure your going to be okay, because there are way to many gay kids on the street today, but if u absoultely must tell someone, tell you counselor, by law they cant tell anything you speak to them about to anyone, but if u cant tell them just find somone you know u can trust and start out small.

It depends on how you feel. Do you feel that even though they oppose it that they would still treat you the same? How much hassle is it going to create for you? Do you think that by telling them you are in risk of losing your home? These are a few questions that only you can answer. Maybe you are lucky enough that you have parents who won't turn their backs on you. But it has happened many, many times. I have helped four people who have had that problem. One of them lived with my family for nearly a year. If you don't live with them, then it may be something you feel that you have to share. Good luck to you.

Answer 4

They found out some years ago that homosexuals have a different formation in one area of the brain. It really is biological and cannot be overcome through religious programming.
If your parents prize their religious programming over their children, you may have to deal with the possibility that they may throw you out of the house... I have seen that done. Are they capable of such a thing and are you prepared for that possibility?
If your parents love you, they may have some difficulty dealing with it at first, but they will eventually come to accept it.
Might I suggest talking to someone at PFLAG about how best to handle it? Perhaps they have a brochure you could give to your parents when you finally do "come out" to them.

Answer 5

WHAT DO YOU THINK. Maybe the problem isnt that your gay but that your an idiot. Venture a guess what will happen, use some common sense! What answer r u even looking for?

...ok....Your parents might get mad, they might disown you or they might accept you. There! Any reasonably intelligent multicellular organism could have thought of a few ideas!

Answer 6

If you are an adult, I would say yes. But if you are a minor, I would recommend waiting until you're older. That way, if they don't like it, you don't have to see them every day ;)

Answer 7

Telling them is important, but timing is even more important.

Possibly tell them before you go off to college or something like that.

Answer 8

Yes - if your parents oppose it because of religious reasons - they are ignorant and you shouldn't care what they think. They should love you no matter what. If they don't - cut your losses and live your life for you.

GOod luck

Answer 9

if they love you it shouldnt matter,it will come out sooner or later so you might as well be the one they hear it from.

Answer 10

"ok" is relative.

but if you come out, you come out for yourself, not for your parents. sometimes, when you come out, you come out in spite of them, and if thats what you need, i think its ok.
