Another open closet

[Lexibtyr Kaiser]

Hello, I thought this would be the best place to discuss this. I'm a bisexual teen male who wishes to come out to my family. From what I've read, it's best to do so earlier in the day. It seems my family of conservative lutherans won't take it well because of their beliefs, but also my dad's father has recently passed and my dad has been more irritable than usual dealing with all the legal work. One of my sisters is more emotionally sensitive and listens to hours of xian podcasts and can give huge arguments where she won't listen and behaves like a ignorant inconsiderate person. My dad and step-mom know I'm a Satanist and would probably just blame it on Satan like it's a "disease". Also my real mom might be more understanding, but she still holds similar beliefs to the rest of my family. I want to show them it's totally natural and that I sincerely feel this way and there's nothing they can do to change me. I want to be able to start seeing other men for once, without being secretive. I am going to talk to my understanding psychologist too, but I wanted some input from my LGBT Brothers and Sisters with experience.

Ugh! I feel for you, Brother. I don't know anything about lutherans,
but they probably won't take it that well. But if you really want to
tell them, by all means go for it! Just try and be very calm and
rational about it; explain it to them the best way you can. You
shouldn't have to hide it if you don't want to. I'm bisexual myself,
and since neither of my parents are really religious, I told them when
I was in high school and they didn't care. They just wanted to make
sure I was happy, and I assured them that I was. If your family really
cares for you, they will accept you; if they don't accept you,
well...then you know who your real family is. I wish you the best of
luck in telling them. It may not bring exactly the resultws you want,
but at least it will be out in the open, and if they don't like it,
then who cares? At least you tried. Again, best of success to you!
Hail Father Satan always!
