For context, I’m in college on literally the other side of the country. She told me about it last night over text (we hardly talk over phone) and I read it this morning. I instantly replied like it’s not a big deal, like being bi is common and she shouldn’t be afraid of anything. And that I support her. And that it’s good she can enjoy the best of both worlds. I asked her when she realised she was bi and she said a year ago. I apologized to her if she thought that it was unsafe  to come out to me or that I’d not support her or I’d be judgmental for a year. 

She also asked me to not tell our parents. I obviously won’t until she wants to have this conversation with them. The thing is, my parents are kinda strict but not that strict but they’re definitely not open minded enough to accept that either of their children could be bi, or a part of the lgbtqia+ community. I’ll support my sister no matter what, but I’m 99% sure my parents won’t.

I know that I’m gonna fight for my sister with everything that I have and support her in everyway possible, but yeah I’m not ready for the kind of emotional toll it’s gonna bring on her when either our parents won’t take her seriously enough, or call it a phase or some other stupid shit, or they’ll scold her instead for entertaining these notions, or they’ll blame each other for her turning out that way. I know that doesn’t make sense and I can’t predict what’s exactly gonna happen, but I know for sure that they won’t accept it.
