i’m bisexual and my parents aren’t homophobic, but I’m scared they won’t look at me the same and see me as a more “exotic“ person and constant tell me microagressions. I also am super scared to tell my friends because theyre pretty ignorant when it comes to stuff about homophobia and what depicts a homophobic person. I just think things won’t be the same if I come out and plus I don’t know how I’d come out. My uncle is a huge homophobe and he’s never liked me and he calls gay people sinners and I just know he will say that abt me. I’m just super scared of the whole “what ppl will think abt me” things bc a girl from my school came out and everyone thought it was for attention

Hey love, I'm sorry that you're in this situation. I know how hard it can be. If you don't think you'll be safe if you come out, then I wouldn't recommend it. However, masking your identity because you think some people wouldn't like you is damaging. You are worth more than their opinion. If your friends don't support you, it'll hurt I won't lie. Despite this, there are other people who would love to be your friend. Supportive, kind people. They're everywhere, I promise. People's opinions are irrelevant. I mean this from the bottom of my heart: be yourself. I got nowhere by pretending to be someone else and I'm currently seriously depressed. You will be happier if you accept yourself and reject negative assumptions made by others. Trust me, baby. It'll be okay.
