conulyDear Care and Feeding,
I’m an older preteen, and I just came out as bisexual. It didn’t go badly, not exactly. My parent knew that I had a crush on a girl prior to this, so I think they knew. My parent works in mental health and has many clients who have kids who have “come out as something like bi to get attention.” I’m not like one of these kids, and I have evidence to support it! I have known for over a year. My parent doesn’t want me to pick a label for myself, but I really want one. This is a fight I feel the need to fight and win. My grandfather who I am extremely close with is in poor health, and I really want to come out to him. My mom gives EXTREMELY HARSH punishments so I’m worried what would happen if I defied her. At the same time, I want to be a loud and proud bisexual. And I feel that is my right. I communicate the best in writing, but I don’t mind saying it verbally if I don’t have to bring it up, if that makes a difference. What am I supposed to do to be a proud member of the LGBTQ community, but also avoid punishment? I’m hoping you can help me, please.
