Didn’t tell my mom (I never see her anyways) but I told my dad, and he was more worried about how other people would react towards me, and told me to be smart about who I tell. Otherwise, he just told me, “it’s your life” and he still loves me 100 percent. Thanks, Dad.
Advice to people who are worried: if you know your parents won’t be accepting (like you’re seriously concerned that they might disown you), you may not want to tell them. There’s no rule that you have to speak up about it. True, it’s difficult holding it in, but that’s better than getting kicked out. On the other hand, if you’re pretty close to your folks, go for it. They’ll love you anyways.
