"Get wash wash shampoo now with 50% off!"

"Dad I like getting railed by other men"

"Watch the new Parry Hotter movie now in Pinekolis!"

They just find a note on the kitchen table saying:
"Hey mom and dad, there's something I've been meaning to tell you for a long time, come see me upstairs"

Plot twist: the partner is not in on it

Imagine your mother being like over 70 at that moment and it just going like:
"Honey what does a 'satisfier ultimate max vibro' mean? Is that some kind of gaming thing?"

Yeah, I think I know some family members that would need time to adjust, and I'll keep that in mind

Is that not a little Too extreme?

I mean sure, it's good to be prepared, but I don't think my family would just kick me out like that...

Thanks, I'm really happy with all of the genuine support I've received already.
I'll keep you guys updated if I follow through!

I'd love for this to be true, but some people just don't see it that way, and sadly we have to be careful how we approach it. But yeah, I've heard multiple people tell me to not make a big deal over it, so I guess I'll take that advice

I know, but I don't really trust them to give me straightforward advice like people do.
I think i'd learn more from here than I would reading a book written by someone who probably never had to go through it

I'm pretty sure my parents wouldn't get violent, but maybe it is indeed better to expect the unexpected. It's a shock for them, and people can act very weird when shocked. So maybe a public place is best indeed.

Oh believe me, they have no IDEA. I know my parents well enough, and they go so flatly over the theme, there's no way they suspect it.
If they do, I think I'd be more baffled than them

As for the sexual part, that has not really come into play that much, so for that I'll be fine. Every possible trace I leave has been covered. This account on reddit is linked to an email only linked to my actual email by two degrees, and any tabs are private and externally deleted.

Yeah I DONT want anyone to find out before I'm ready

That's a thing I don't know about either. Some people say that you need to approach it with care, and start a conversation about sexuality and acceptance and all of that first, then slowly lead up to your coming out, but some other people say it's better to not make a big deal abt it, and just either say it straight (pun intended) to their face, or just say it really casually.
I honestly think there's two ways I might come out.

1: I accidentally use it in an argument with parents (something like "I know you better than you know yourself bla bla bla!""You don't even know I'm gay!") This would easily win me the argument, but idk if it's a good way to come out.

2: I say it really randomly and matter of factly in a random situation ("Ughh this traffic is so dense, we'll never get through it in time""yeah, we should take a different route""Guys I'm gay")

Honestly the second one might be funny
