Is it normal i still dont want to come out to my family?

I'm 22 gay male,known I was gay for around 6 years, and I still have not came out to my parents. not sure if its just me but I really dont feel the need to. I live with my boyfriend and I still attend to lie and sneak around my parents (they think I live alone). advice would be help full.

thanks,
Chance.

    My sister came out to our parents and she expected them to be pissed, maybe their reaction could surprise you is what im trying to get at. But trust me if you keep lying eventually they'll figure it out, I think it would better for them to hear it from you and then hearing you been lying to them.

  • Sounds like your parents don't understand what it is to be gay. Like, they can encourage you to be straight. As you and I know, it's not a choice. That's just the way it is. I would leave telling them alone for awhile. They probably won't understand anyway.

    I'm bi and I plan on never coming out to my family. It would cause more problems than it's worth. But then again, my parents are hateful against all LGBT people. Maybe yours will be more accepting?

        You don't have to be in a relationship with a girl to need condoms.

    You probably should try to discover their opinions on LGBTQ+ people, like just tell them "Hey a friend of mine came out as gay, what do you think about this?" and just see their reaction. If they dislike gays overall, it's best to keep it to yourself, I mean your preference shouldn't be their buisiness. I'm bisexual and I don't think I'm ever gonna come out to my parents, they say they're not homophobic but I just don't believe it. They believe that people just pretend to be gay/bi because they think it's a trend

    If you feel like you don't want to, then don't. It's really none of their business and they have no right to know. I'm bi and I have no intention of telling my family members. Then again my reasons are because they're hypocritical bible thumpers who misquote the book, especially my dad.

    It's your decision, don't worry abt it. If you're caught some day then speak the truth
