Hey Pandas, How Did You Come Out?

I'm coming out to my parents this June, but have no idea how!

This post may include affiliate links.

#1

I just walked up to them when they weren't doing anything, and said "Mom, Dad, I'm bisexual."

Just go simplistic, and if you're absolutely positive, don't say stuff like "I think" or "I have a feeling" because that leads to the whole "It's just a phase" thing. Be firm, but remind them that you're still the same child they raised.

Good luck!

I didn't, I think coming out as trans will just make thing a lot worse as my parents will automatically assume things about me (like wanting to transition(which I don't want to do)).
unrelated if you look at the of this post url you will see that this exact same question was posted SIXTEEN times in the past two years. This shows that this question is really overused

I'm still in the process of coming out, lol. I just kind of didn't ... tell them, exactly. I started wearing rainbow things, putting up pride flags on my pinboard and such . They basically know I'm a part of the community, just not which part.

I said "Mom, Dad... I've been thinking about it for a while now. I've come to realize that I'm... I'm... STRIAGHT!"

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
