Anonymous asked: As a bisexual, do I have to come out to my family? And how do I do that? My parents are for gay rights but I'm still scared and confused about whether or not bisexuality is worth coming out for, especially with all the confusion, stigmas and negative connections surrounding bisexuality. I'd appreciate any kind of help you could give me and any tips. :(

You don’t have to come out unless you want to. It’s really a personal decision. Some people put a lot of pressure on the notion of coming out, but if keeping your sexuality to yourself is more comfortable for you, then no need to worry about it. 

So if you would like to come out to your family, then you should. But it is up to you. How you want to tell them and when and where is something you are going to have to figure out. Obviously we want to help as much as we can, but in all reality, we don’t know your family as well as you do. I suggest following gut feelings on these types of things. There probably won’t be a perfect time to tell them, but you can expect that telling them when they are happy as opposed to sad is a safer bet. 

It’s also good to fully come out to yourself. Accept your sexuality. Accept yourself. Sometimes people come out without fully accepting themselves or fully coming out to themselves and it causes a lot of confusion and frustration. 

No need to rush into it because you have a while. And most of all, it is up to you.

I hope this helps.
