Hey @gay_disabled_human and welcome to our online community! It is so lovely to have you join us 😊

 

Thank you so much for sharing this with us and for being so honest about what you're going through. It takes a lot of bravery to reach out here so I just want to start off by saying well done. It is also so great that you have been able to connect with your sexuality and open up to your family. How did you feel after being able to share this with your mum? 

 

Coming out to extended family can be really scary, but its not something you have to go through on your own. Minus18 have a really great article on Coming out and how to approach it. I wonder if it might give you some ideas on how to come out to them yourself. We also have a great thread here, which might also give you some ideas. Do you think they might help at all? 

 

I am also mindful of how difficult this can be and wonder what other supports you have around you right now. Is there anyone you might feel comfortable talking to about this? If you would like to talk to someone, it might be worth looking into a service like QLife who is available via phone and webchat. 

 

I just want to remind you that you're not alone and we're all here for you.
