-Gather an arsenal of friends—people who identify as you do—anyone that can provide acceptance and tools for handling your family and embracing your true self without shame to be with you when you come out. -Choose a time and place that you and your family are most comfortable with that also provides positive emotions (it could be a favorite restaurant or your house ect.) -Be prepared to educate those who are unaccepting. Answer questions when coming out and then have conversations about it afterward. Most people who aren't very accepting of different sexual orientation is because they don't understand it, it's "unknown" territory for them. - If they are still unaccepting ask yourself, “How much does it mean to me to have this person in my life?" I hope this helps you, just remember that at the end of the day be yourself and be happy no matter what anyone says. If someone can't love or accept you for who you are they don't deserve to be in your life.

try and find out together where to find help to move out of that toxic enviroment. Your friend can't help it telling you the same things over and over again, they are in the middle of it. Listening, even though you've heard it many times before, is very valuable... Good luck to you both.
