How should I tell my parents at Christmas that I am bisexual?

Question

Do you guys have any ideas? I want to tell them and since Christmas is right around the corner, I want to tell them then.
Thx in advance

Answer 1

don't tell them on christmas, at least wait till after the holidays, that way if it's something that will upset them, it can be dealt with later at a less stressful time. keep the peace for a nice holiday season so there wont be any tension, when it's supposed to be happiness, then when all is over, sit them down and tell them what's going on in your life. hopefully they will take it ok, and you guys can get past this.

Answer 2

Don't tell them at Christmas. It might put a damper on your holidays. Try telling them on New Years or after New Years, claiming you "Want to start out fresh and clean." Then tell them the news. They're your family, they should understand. It can't be helped that your bisexual, and more and more people are coming to accept it. People who don't should just get over it.

Answer 3

Everyone is bisexual, you don't need to come out to be bisexual. Unless you're going to be bringing a girl home ( which you wouldn't be a big deal either because no one cares when girls sleep with each other). No one needs to know you're bisexual, ESPECIALLY not around the holidays. Just keep it to yourself. I hooked up with a bunch of guys in college, but no one in my family needs to be aware. I've got a girlfriend (had one for three years) and my family doesn't know I have some bisexual tendencies.

Seriously. Everyone is a little bisexual. Your parents probably experimented. YOu don't need to know. Just forget it.

Answer 4

Are you intending to take two partners for dinner?
There's enough to deal with at Christmas time without you coming out too. For one, your parents may need time to adjust. There may be really personal questions that are not appropriate for a family gathering. Secondy, you can be happy and honest and authentic, while still keeping your orientation to yourself. No need to make it an issue (unless they bring it up!).

Have a great time.
Good Luck.

Answer 5

OMG -If I were your parent, Christmas is the last time I would want to learn new like that.
Try to wait till there is a less stressful time so that you can talk to them and they can try to get a grip on your announcement.
Sorry, I would NOT BE A HAPPY CAMPER IF MY CHILD TOLD ME THIS ON CHRISTMAS DAY. I PERSONALLY HAVE A VERY, VERY UGLY TEMPER AND TEND TO BLURT OUT WHATEVER I AM THINKING AT THAT MOMENT - GOOD, BAD OR OTHERWISE !!!!!!!!

Answer 6

Don't - wait until afterwards. This isn't the kind of thing you want to spring on people at Christmas when they have enough stress on their hands.

New Year might be better - you can say your resolution is to be open about your sexuality.

Answer 7

definatly don't do it on christmas! wait until right before you leave to go back home. sit them down and bring it up casually. then, gently say that ive become interested in the came and the opposite sex. then comfort them(they might be shocked if u haven't dropped any hints) then say u better het going. Hoped I helped. GOOD LUCK!!!

Answer 8

you want to punch them in the gut....cuz your a spoiled brat ( yet another reason why homos suck )

Answer 9

In a present! Have a nice neat box with wrapping and a bow. Then when they open it up. There is one little neat note inside, and guess what is says?

*EDIT*
Okay guys, she is not asking for your opinions. If you don't have any idea for her how to do it, then don't answer. Re-read the question, no where in there is she asking for your opinion. You all are so fast to tell people you don't like their plan or life, but then 3 seconds later you say everyone has a right not be be judged. WTF!

Answer 10

I don't think so, espicially if they would be angry about it.

Maybe have a great holiday with them and tell them later on so theyre in a good mood? XD;
