Hello!

Well...

I want to come out of the closet but I'm not sure how to. I'm bisexual but only my close friends know about it (pretty much all of them being a part of LGBTQ+). What should I say? I hear my mum's ramblings about LGBTQ+ and her close friend that is gay, but I don't know what to do. I'm gonna stop there because otherwise I'm going to not get any sleep and it's 4am and it's a school night.

I've been waiting for something like this to appear. :)

Well im glad you found this :). As for your mom what kinds of things does she ramble about?

Why would you want to come out of the closet exactly? Not trying to be mean or discourage you, but I am curious why you're wanting to :o

It's fine for asking, but it's getting weirder and weirder whenever my mum calls me her 'little straight angel'. It's weird, I know, but that's what my mum calls me sometimes. She also says that she is surprised that all her children are straight (there is 3 of us fyi) and then goes on about all of us having gay friends and stuff (not in an offensive way but kinda like she's saying it will spread or something idk what she thinks)

I mainly think it's time I tell my mum. I don't like keeping secrets from anyone, especially my parents. It just feels right to tell her.

Well, my mum usually gets really excited for the Mardi Gras and really want to go see it live sometime. She got upset about this kid that got disowned for being gay and went on and on about how it's not a bad thing. My mum likes to talk about how she really wanted a gay best friend that was a boy (not that she isn't happy with her current best friend) and then she would tell me about how she likes to talk with the mother of my best friend that is gay and is a boy. That's all I remember rn but she says a lot of things about LGBTQ+

:3

Just don't do it like me and scream at your mother that shes a homophobe before leaving to your friends house xD

Although that shouldnt be necessary in your case, you mother sounds very accepting a might be even a little pleased to have a kid who isnt straight....imo. btw my mother still doesn't actually know what I am xD except queer in some way (I think she suspects lesbian >.>'' which couldn't really be too much farther from the truth)

Lol

I think I might tell her sometime this month, and if I don't, then it will be on the top of my to-do list

Well I know homophobic parents are a big problem of today, but how would saying your sexual orientation change who she is? Sometimes it's best to just stay undercover of your identity until you finally move out or get away from your mom, that's how I deal.

I'm straight. Lately, though, I've been feeling a little more bisexual. I don't have a crush on a girl(yet), but I've been feeling a lot more bisexual. I haven't told my friends, because I'm not sure all of them will accept me right away. I also haven't told my mom or dad and they're pretty accepting of the LGBTQ+ community. I guess I need some advice...
If you have some, please ping me.
