I’m gay, and I honestly don’t think it’s that big of a deal. However, it’s a big part of who I am and what I may become and I feel it’s important that I let my parents know. I’m sure both of them have their suspicions already, and I’m not too worried about them knowing, but their siblings are not the most welcoming towards individuals who lead alternative lifestyles.
I enjoy the big family get-togethers, and I don’t think life would be quite the same without them. I guess I’m afraid of losing that experience when (not “if”; my parents’ families are very communicative) they find out I’m gay.
I wish I could just tell them to not tell anyone, but that seems like it may be asking too much of them to keep secrets for me.
I’m just not sure what to do at this point.
