Like I said in the topic title, I am bisexual, and proud of it. My only problem is my super uptight religious parents. I want to tell them, but don't know how. They are racist as well, and that is no helper. So, pretty much my whole life, I have hidden things from tings. Any ideas or advice? I have literally thought of cutting again or killing myself over this stuff it is so hard for me.

Just Tell Them.They Have To respect You For That..Anyway It's your Life And If Your Parents Don't Like The Way You Live It, It's Their Problem, Not Yours.

It sounds more like your parents are homophobic, not racist.
Anyways, telling a parent that your bi-sexual or gay can be extremely hard to do. Work up the chain and establish a safety net. Tell close friends, then siblings, etc. Save parents for last. Also, look up an openly gay celebrity you respect, then model your "coming out" after theirs.

I went through the same thing when I told my parents that I was Bisexual and had a girlfriend last year. They don't like people who are "different" and thought it was one of the worst sins around. However, I believed they had a right to know so I decided to tell them. Yeah, they weren't happy one bit, but I had to deal with it. I did think of hurting myself and such, but my friends told me it wasn't the answer at all and kept me from doing it. My parents were grateful that I did tell them the truth, though, now instead of years later. I just can't bring it up too much around them. They still think of me as their "own straight version". Let them think of me that way, if they're not happy with who I am, then whatever, they have to deal with it brecause I'm proud to be Bisexual and won't change for them. However, they did thank me for telling the truth. So my advice to you would be, tell the truth (they'll be glad to know they can trust you even if they don't show it) and don't give up. They may want to change you, want to make you see a psychiatrist, cry, and put you down a lot (going by what mine have done), but don't let it get to you. I can't promise it'll be a smooth road, it will get rocky, but at least you know you're being youself. I hope this helped and I wish you luck with your decision. If you need some more help or some one to talk to who has gone through somewhat of the same event, just PM me or something and I'll try to help, alright? ^w^

I just told my mom I am bisexual, and she thinks I am just saying it to piss her off. But, it is the gods honest truth. Oh, I even told her that I am not Christian any more. Not really. I pray to the Greek Gods and Goddesses.

um well i think you should talk to the one that you think is most understanding. cuz then you can feel better about telling the parent and they should be able to comfort you or whatever.
my friend is guy and he told his family. his mom took it good but his dad did him wrong.
im not saying that your parents will do the same but if they seem not so understanding just give them time okay?

Well, its going to be hard. I am a lesbian and I actually still haven't told my dad because he is very religious and he's going through a really hard time right now. I guess what I can suggest is that you wait for the right time. I came out to my mom 2 years ago, I'm 21 now and I have had a girlfriend for a year. I want to come out to my dad soon but I'm just waiting for the right moment.
