Hey there so I recently came out as aroace to myself and most of my family is pretty homophobic but I have a sister who is part of the LGBTQ community so I wanted to come out to her first and I know all the things like giving her time and other things but I don't know how or when to come out to her have any advice?
hello dearest! i hope i got to this one in time!
the truth is, you can never really know when someone will be ready for you to tell them. it’s more about when you feel ready and equipped to handle what their response may be! if your sister is LGBTQ+, there’s a fairly good chance her response would be positive. if you’re worried about her reaction to aroace identities in particular, try just having a conversation about it first without mentioning your identity. this can help investigate safely how she may respond.
good luck, my love! i am really hoping you are able to share your identity with those close to you in a safe way!
