how the hell do you come out to parents doesn’t help that my moms side of the family is homophobic as well. I’m just so fucking tired of being closeted I have tried soft launching the concept before, and the response my mom gave me was that she respects it but she doesn’t support it. And that got me fucking scared cs what the hell does that mean. She kinda got the gist of what I was hinting at and looked at me with this serious expression and said “why? are you..gay?” AND I SWEAR TO GOD I could literally feel her rejection and dissatisfaction if I said yes so like the coward I am I laughed it off and said no! Fuck my life
