Coming out of the Closet.
Hello,
I am a homosexual male in my 20's. I live in a rural, conservative Christian area. No one in the world knows that I am attracted to the same gender, and I am having trouble understanding how and if I should ever tell my parents I am a homosexual. I know there is no shame in who I am, but I am afraid of the consequences that follow up on telling the people I love most about my sexuality.
As of right now they think I am a heterosexual, but I want that to change. My mother, in particular, does not like same-sex marriage, but I do not know if she is implying whether she dislikes homosexuals or not. My dad seems indifferent with the thought of homosexuality.
Overall, I am just wondering what the best approach to telling my parents about my homosexuality without so much fear behind my back. My parents are loving people and have cared for me my whole life, but I just worry about how they are going to take it.
P.S.
If you are a homophobic moron, then please be mature enough to not even post here. Also homophobia is unnatural, not homosexuality. Thanks.
