ok look, since you're on this forum I'm assuming you're a teen. I've always given this bit of advice to my friends and people younger than me, and I know this is going to hurt to hear sweetie, but when you're young and you happen to have uber religious parents (like yours truly) the best advice I can give is to not come out to them. I know that sounds sad and cruel but if they're as bad as you say they are don't come out....yet. When you grow up and have your own place sure but not yet.


If you want to come out to someone younger try your closest friend. If your friend is on the same level as your parents throw around the question "hey? Did you know that my cousin is gay?" or something like that and see how they react. You'll find one person you can confide in, I know it.

Um...are they seriously threatening your life or what?? O.O

I can relate, I haven't come out yet, I'm bi and have very strict parents...

</3?

Believe in yourself. Anything is possible!
