How do you tell your parents?

Question

How do you tell your friends a family that you bi?

Answer 1

I never discuss my sexuality with anyone that isn't a candidate to share my bed, so I wouldn't consider it any of my family's business.

Answer 2

First of all why do you feel you have to tell your parents?? Have they caught you? Do they suspect something? You may only be experimenting with the same sex, and I would give that some time before I spilt those beans. Be sure of what you do want before you take that chance. Parents can love you unconditionally, and have deep regrets about your chosen love life, especially with the same sex. You didn't mention how old you are either. You should know how your Parents feel about same sex relationships, and if you don't bring it up and ask them how they feel about it some quiet evening. Then pick your poison. Not before. You can put a wedge between you and your Parents, and then find out you aren't really interested in the same sex, then you have damaged the trust between the both of you. Be careful.

Answer 3

I am not bi or gay but if my daughter and son came up to me to say their gay or bi, I would accept it but you have to be straight forward with it. The one thing I noticed with some of my bi friends is that the parents never know because your stil lattracted to the opposite sex and there is still apossibilty you getting married and having kids. I think parents just want to see grandchildren from their sons and daughters.

Answer 4

I wouldn't tell them.
It's one thing to be gay.
To be bi, you may bring home either gender. Don't confuse your family. They don't need to know too much of your sexual preferences. Everytime you bring a friend around whether they are male or female they'll think your sleeping with them all.
I'm married to a man and have had bi experiences however my family don't need to know that.

Answer 5

First of all - are you sure that you are - or do you think that you may be still confused. If so why don't you go to the one person that you would trust the most. This was you can get it off of your chest. And may be they could help you with the transition of telling anyone else that you care about - In any case - good luck to you

Answer 6

Tell them if you are planning on having a partner of the same sex around them or if you are really close to them only. Tell them in a public setting if they may react unexpectedly and remember that ultimately they will accept you if they really love you.

Answer 7

Answer 8

just tell them.
my family didnt seem to care cuz i have a boyfriend.
but it all depends on how your family veiws that type of thing.
if they dont care, then it should be fine. if not, you should tell a friend you trust alot, & tell them. then you'll have support. just tell people you trust first, then after you have enough support, come out to everyone. :)

Answer 9

I really don't wouldnt know! I just know that sometimes girls go through a phase of what they THINK they are [because i know i did]! Just make sure you know you are truelly what YOU are saying you are because once you tell them, they may very well see you differently just because how biased everything is!

Answer 10

Well that just depends on how your family looks at that kind of stuff. If they have no problems with it sit them down and let them know, or if they are against that stuff you could write them a letter.
