I am so glad i found this post!
Im kind of in the process of "coming out", id that makes sense as ive only recently identified as being bisexual with a few gears of questioning my sexuality.
The first person i told was a colleague at work because he was bisexual too (im 24, im a late bloomer i know haha). The next person i came out to was my mum and stepdad. My mum has said in the past that she'd always love her kids no matter what but when i told her i was bi, i got the whole "its a phase, youre just lonely". My stepdad was surprisingly okay with it given hes relatively honophobic? (Although he does keep reminding me that im greedy). Over the past few months my mum has kind of accepted me but its kind of we avoid talking about it.
My brother and his girlfriend was the next ones i told where my brother was surprisingly okay with it and his girlfriend cried for joy and hugged me and congratulated me.
I think my biggest worry is letting my dad and all his side of the family know. Theyre very strict catholics and they have a lot on their plate to deal with at the min (my grandad currently has late stage Alzheimers). On the one hand they deserve to know as they are my family but on the other hand, i feel theyre just gonna reject me and cut me out of their lives.
Another big worry of mine is that i feel im not gonna fit in with the LGBT+ community at uni when i start in september because of how "new" i am to my sexuality and my age regarding that.
(ps sorry this post is MEGA long)
