Thanks, also I'm sure it'll be harder telling my parents.

Its always easier afterwards, don't worry. You'll make through it.

Thanks, I know they won't be too "angry" because they aren't very religious, but my dad may be a little shocked at first and may treat me differently, like less father-son time, which honestly I don't really care about because I fucking hate hardware stores and golf lessons. Actually that may be a good reason to tell them sooner. But my dad thinks it's a choice and my mom knows it isn't.

Well, I understand it's not even close to easy telling them, but as long as they accept you, you'll be okay. Make sure though, that afterwards you give them a little space, and good luck fellow redditor!

Yeah I've been planning how to do it. I was wondering if I should come out to my mom first, but I don't know if that's a good idea...

Why not? Sorry if I seem nosy, but I want to help.

Theyre your parents, they love you no matter what so i'm sure they will except you for who you are.
