I'm Bi But My Family Will Not Accept It

Hello killjoys,

I am seeking advice or simply just your ears, ears that will listen.

The other night I was out with some friends, having a nice BBQ and my friends are bi like me and told me how easy it was to tell their family they liked both men and women.

Anyway, my parents are homophobia. I know they will say "you are not". Then once I have told them and believed me, I am scared that they will kick me out, never talk to me again and see me differently.

Like I can't be myself around my family without them thinking something is wrong with me - I mean I am quirky, I am artistic and I am weird in a good way. I'm unpredictable.

I just want to be me and have them accept me for who I am. That's reasonable is it not.
