Coming Out

Helpful Tips for Coming Out to Your Parents: WATCH

Share

SOMETIMES Coming Out doesn’t go as you hoped. Fear not, there’s still hope.

Susan Cottrell, the Christian mom behind freedhearts.org, gives you 4 tips for coming out to your parents (as someone with two queer kids, she’s been there before) from The Advocate.

You’re Not Alone

If you have a bad coming out experience, it is important to know that you aren’t alone. Others have been there and survived. And even if your family and friends react horribly, please know in many cases, they will come around.

If you have a gay/straight alliance at your school, or a supportive teacher or guidance counselor, consider reaching out. Sometimes it can seem as if no one will ever accept you, but really, this isn’t the case.
