Your mother may be against it, but would she take it well? That's the real question.

Even if she were to take it well, she may end up bent on getting you to change. Again, no rush. Think it through with people who are willing to be there for you. And if she or someone else somehow convince you otherwise, then that would be that.

But if you're not convinced, ask yourself the deep questions. And weigh the consequences. At least be sure you have a safe environment. Kinda w/that guy and his broken english a little: Why do you need to make it a public announcement?

That's a rhetorical question. You don't have to answer that. Though I guess you can if you want to.

Consider asking yourself the reasons why you're LGBTQ+ if you haven't already. Give it a couple months and ask yourself again.

If you haven't changed your mind about it at all and decided it is best for you, then you'll be able to express that properly.

Dad's a little…"iffy" considering this situation. You'll want people that can usher you asap if things get chaotic.

If you hide your true feelings, she may eventually find out in a very bad light. If you make it apparent now, there's a chance they could all go ballistic. Even if you decided to hide it for some time.

I'm honored that you opened up like this. But be careful not to let the wrong people too close. You need to be able to express your actual thoughts and emotions on their own level without melting down.

Considering your willingness to share, I'll assume that you've either already had or currently have a romantic interest.

There's so many things that need to be factored in. And you should prioritize your safety. Hint of Immaturity Scenario: Parent(s) & bf start playing the blame game instead of sitting down and actually listening to understand. If they can't do that at this time, why try?

They need to be ready to be receptive and cooperative in a peaceful manner. If they can't hold it together for even that, it definitely wouldn't be worth your time.

Since you're already thinking about these sorts of things, it is best case scenario to be mature enough to even be dating in the first place. Too many sharks in the sea. There's also lots that goes into building many kinds of relationships, especially lasting romantic kinds.

Parents may be able to offer you insight and help you make wise decisions. Don't brush them off. You'll make them feel like you never listen. And then they may not be as willing to consider your views.

I do sincerely apologize for the wall of text. And I hope you'll consider what's being said and that it will turn out for your good. Stay Safe!
