Hey all, I just thought I would post a plea for advice... I am bisexual, but I have yet to come out to anyone outside of sc. I'm not concerned about the reactions of my friends - if they're truly my friends, they'll support me, and if not, then they won't, and there's not much I can do about that.
No, my real issue is my parents. They're very religious, which is fine, except that they are absolutely against homosexuality and bisexuality, no questions asked. (Ex: they both hate Bush, but voted for him so that if any Supreme Court justices died, he would select conservative replacements that would keep gay marriage illegal.
) They found out - not by my choosing - that I'm bi a few years ago, and instantly stuck me in Christian counseling in an attempt to convert me back to heterosexuality.... Obviously, didn't work (its not a choice!). We haven't discussed it since. I'm in college now, and I'm in a wonderful relationship (with a fellow cyster, actually, my darling Naymarie
), and I'd really like to share at least my bisexuality with them, but I'm terrified of what their reactions will be. I can honestly see them doing things as drastic as making me move home and go to a community college or withdrawing all financial support; I can't deal with either of those options right now, but I hate keeping this huge part of who I am hidden from them....
So, I'm hoping you may have some advice... maybe you've gone through a similar situation or know someone who has. Anything would be appreciated... Thanks in advance!
