Five tips for straight parents on how to make the process a little easier.
Ariela Basson/Scary Mommy; Getty Imagesforabout my bisexuality, without ever processing how public an online publication was. Strangers could see it — and so could my friends and family.On publication day, I agonized over what to do. Did I want to personally come out to certain people before sharing the article, or did I want the article to do it for me?
And then I waited. The silence was the worst part — until my mom broke it with something along the lines of: “Yeah, we already knew. Glad you figured it out.”My coming out was, overall, easy. My friends accepted me. My family accepted me. I simply adjusted my label and moved on. Unfortunately, that never happened. My coming out was the farthest thing from confident: It was clumsy, nerve-wracking, and full of stumbles. Of course, I’m lucky that the worst thing I had to worry about was an awkward silence. So here’s some advice for all you parents about navigating your own kid’s coming out — a primer, if you will.
