Hey LGBTQ+ pandas, I can't come out as bi to my grandparents. (who I am very close to) I've been feeling kind of sad about this for the past few days. Please post your coming out stories or reassurance. Thanks pandas!!! 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈

I'm not sure if you wanted me to post advice or a coming out story, so I'll do a little bit of both
I can't really give specific advice because I don't know the situation you are in, like why can't you come out and stuff. My general advice would be to find someone/people who you can come out to and be comfortable with. Also just because you are not out to them doesn't mean you can't be yourself for the most part around them.
When I came out to my parents it was pretty bland, I wrote a note and then they asked me like what it means, and how long I had known. But since today is omnisexual awareness day I am planning on coming out to my friends too, ill tell you how it goes
Hello! I can feel your pain. I am lesbian and out to my mom(she isn’t against or for the LGBTQIA+ community, she’s fairly neutral). I’m not out to my dad or any of my extended family though, and I’m a bit scared. I think I should start with my dad because I’m not 100% sure of my sexuality. I’m still youngish(according to my parents), and I liked boys in the past so I’m scared that my dad will invalidate me.
BUT me and my dad are very close, and he’s a kind person. I don’t think he’ll stop loving me if I tell him that I’m gay. What I’ve been doing so far is implying and hinting at my sexuality, so I’m pretty sure he already knows. I’m sure your grandparents won’t stop loving you either. But you don’t have to come out to your grandparents, and not coming out doesn’t make you any less valid.
Lots of
