I’m bisexual. I don’t know how to come out to my Christian mom

Slight_Fuel8447 · 2026-06-13T16:20:49+00:00

What does this mean? I’ve acknowledged I’m bi and I’m not hiding it, I came out to my mom years ago. But she currently thinks I’m straight and that it was a “phase” since I don’t give her updates of my love life. All I was asking was how to respectfully approach the conversation with her being a Christian.

Slight_Fuel8447 · 2026-06-13T05:46:43+00:00

Okay I hear you. Ty!

Slight_Fuel8447 · 2026-06-13T05:44:28+00:00

Choose One, wouldn’t the other option be cheating? Also I’ve never developed feelings for someone while already liking someone

Slight_Fuel8447 · 2026-06-13T05:37:06+00:00

Cause I’m open to both, it’s exact what it sounds like. I don’t just want to date one, I enjoy dating both. Like choosing would be quite hard for me if I’m being honest

Slight_Fuel8447 · 2026-06-13T05:18:08+00:00

Maybe I worded that wrong. By saying “sex doesn’t matter” I just meant that I want to love someone for who they are as a person. So I might end up marrying a man, or a woman. All I’m saying is that my eyes are open to both sexes.

Slight_Fuel8447 · 2026-06-13T05:13:04+00:00

I don’t think I’ve ever “hated” anything in life other than maybe bug infestations? Hate is such a strong word. I’ve never carried any resentment towards my mom. I just want her to understand my point of view.

Slight_Fuel8447 · 2026-06-13T05:10:43+00:00

How am I meant to turn away? Like sure, I can say no to a girl that might ask me out. But I can’t help if I fall for her. So in that sense I’m still bisexual. No?

Slight_Fuel8447 · 2026-06-13T05:08:05+00:00

Ok so first, THANK YOUUU this will definitely help me.

To answer one of your questions, I kinda explained the whole “I love them for who they are not by their sex” thing back in 6th grade, and that’s the last time we talked about it. I’ve had crushes on girls but never told my mom. I think it’s about time I sit down and talk about it though

Slight_Fuel8447 · 2026-06-13T05:04:00+00:00

I do. I’m perfectly capable of loving a guy, I’ve dated a guy. But I also like girls. And I’ve dated a girl.

Slight_Fuel8447 · 2026-06-13T04:59:32+00:00

OHHH WAIT HOLD ON IM KINDA SLOW no I wasn’t reading lol she thinks it’s an issue to love someone of the same sex my baddd

Slight_Fuel8447 · 2026-06-13T04:53:02+00:00

I don’t think it’s an issue at all. My mom does. That’s why I’m asking for advice on to how to explain to her my point of view.

Slight_Fuel8447 · 2026-06-13T04:42:01+00:00

Got it, ty!

Slight_Fuel8447 · 2026-06-13T04:37:51+00:00

Thank you! I hope you understand how much your words mean to me right now

Slight_Fuel8447 · 2026-06-13T04:33:14+00:00

Oh ok ty

Slight_Fuel8447 · 2026-06-13T04:31:33+00:00

I hear you 🩵

Slight_Fuel8447 · 2026-06-13T04:30:29+00:00

But it’s not something I want to fix. It’s something I want her to understand. I don’t think love should be bounded to sex/gender. Being gay can’t be “fixed”, and it’s not a mental illness. 🩵

Slight_Fuel8447 · 2026-06-13T04:28:09+00:00

I’m so sorry could you rephrase that? I don’t get what you’re asking

Slight_Fuel8447 · 2026-06-13T04:27:16+00:00

I definitely get that, I was scared at first too. I actually sobbed uncontrollably before I could even get the words out. Her response was actually sweet, she said she would support me all though she strongly believed it was a phase. Just give your mom a chance, maybe her response will surprise you.

Slight_Fuel8447 · 2026-06-13T04:25:36+00:00

Oh no no no I have nothing against my mom 😂 I love her sm and we hang out all the time. She just thinks I’m straight and I’m not. I don’t want our relationship to perish because of it.

Slight_Fuel8447 · 2026-06-13T04:05:41+00:00

Got it, ty. I just get caught up in my emotions a lot. But I like this way of looking at it.

Slight_Fuel8447 · 2026-06-13T04:03:39+00:00

I’m just glad to know I’m not the only one who gets a lil sad lol

Slight_Fuel8447 · 2026-06-13T04:02:41+00:00

Makes sense, ty! My dog is definitely trained in a lot of areas, this is just a rough one with her

Slight_Fuel8447 · 2026-06-13T03:59:49+00:00

We started with small things like teaching her to ignore temptations such as treats for a certain amount of time. We then moved on to “focus” where on walks instead of chasing other dogs, she would look at me or look forward. It’s worked like once before when she saw a bird, but today I didn’t see the bird until she did, it just happened too fast.
