I would! How’d you find out though? Are you supposed to know? Try soft launching the idea to see how they react around you first though. Cause worst case scenario, if they have any internalized homophobia they may try outing you to protect themselves

Fat chance of internalized homophobia, how I found out is that they had a couples account with a friend and apparently it that friend is openly bi.

What risks come with being outed to your family? If you depend on them financially, probably better to get stable and independent before you take a risk like that

Fair, I think that’s the path she took also, minus telling our family. It’d just be nice to not be the only queer person in the family
