So pride month is coming up and it makes me so sad that I still cant publicly celebrate. My mom and sister know and are super supportive but I feel like I'll never be able to tell my dad and his family that I'm bisexual. They wont disown me or anything, I just dont think they'd understand. Any fellow LGBTQ+ family members on here?

      bisexual trans man here!! it was around this time last year when i finally came out to my family, since then i was lucky enough to get on testosterone and start looking into affirming surgeries. i can't tell you how freeing (and fucking terrifying it can be) it is to be me openly. at some point, you have to realize that you don't have to explain yourself to anyone. that and your relationship with yourself is more important than that with anyone else. i hope that one day you can celebrate being yourself publicly

      It took me a long time to come to terms with my sexuality and I was kind of forced out of the closet by my ex-husband. He made a post on Facebook and next thing I knew my family was calling me asking me what was going on I still remember the dirty looks some of them gave me. But over time the ones that I actually cared about understood and accepted it and they support me. I still have to put up with some family members who don't care for my preference, but I choose to be around those who I know love me for who I am.
