A few days ago I was one step closer to coming out but now I doubt its safe to come out. My parents just proved that they are extremely religious and would get pissy about how im bi ( actually omni but I use bi ) and how i despise the Catholic church.
The only thing stopping me from coming out is religion. Anyone in the same boat? What do i do?
Yeah, that might want to wait until they’re actually around puberty, a common thing is people getting understandably angry that 5 year olds are being asked about their nonexistent significant others. But the general idea about intervening to present more than one gender as a valid romantic interest is solid.
I honestly think searching the internet would be helpful here.
I know a lot of us are on Lemmy to avoid Reddit, but their LGBTQ+ subreddits probably contain people in similar situations who got answers to their questions about how to survive an intolerant religious family and how to best approach this topic with young children. I’d say that browsing Reddit for this kind of thing really is not a big deal. Go browse Reddit for answers, I personally weigh people not being bigots over sticking to the Reddit protest. If this rankles, there’s also alternative front ends to Reddit that don’t give them traffic, so you can basically browse Reddit without breaking the protest, without giving Reddit anything. https://libreddit.projectsegfau.lt/r/LGBTQ/ https://libreddit.projectsegfau.lt/r/lgbt
Thank you. Although I’ll make a post here too. This place needs more activity
