So, does anyone have any coming-out tips for me? I'm planning on telling my cousin that I'm pansexual. My cousin is religious and she has said more than once that she believes it is "sinful" to not be straight. I want to tell her because she has asked a few times and I've always changed the subject with a joke, but now I want to tell her for real.

Start out slow. Like give little hints and "Joke" about being pansexual and if she reacts like "ew". 1 thing, don't be sad. Do not give up and be miserable. Or, you could ask her if she would support you if you were bisexual, lesbian, etc. Because I'm lesbian and that's what I did.

Go for it! Trust yourself and your ability, if you are worried about what others think then that is just another reason to do it. If you come out about it, you will not need to worry about what they think because you will have said it and it is up to them to take it well or not.

Explanation:

I am Christian, but have also struggled with expression. I found that, at the end of the day, it is about doing what you see is right and moral. Some people will think that it is immoral to be LGBTQ but it is not wrong to feel different.
