tell them
if they believe in that then that’s pathetic because you are who you are and you can’t change that,if you really care about your girlfriend then you should tell them to prove you’re not ashamed of who you are,and even if they think it’s evil or they just hate gays/lesbians,doesn’t mean they should hate you

Tell them when you are ready, not when your friend thinks you are. Your family will not understand like you said first, but they have no other choice to if they want to remain in your life. Everything will be fine once things get a little used too. I hope it works out.
My sister had to tell everyone, it was bad but couple years later its okay, She felt she had to live further away from us so we can handle it and it worked.

Yes, you should. In the proper time, of course. Are you really sure this is not just a phase you’re going through? If the answer to that question is no, I would postpone the announcement for a while.

If i were you I would tell my family. If your family loves you then they should except them for who you are and see how that goes. If I where you I would but then again just follow your heart!

You should just go ahead and tell them. I’m sure they already suspect it anyways noone realy truly hides it. But i’d wait to mention the girlfriend until after they get over the news of your sexual prefrence. (As for people being a homophope i’ve learned that it is because that they themselves have thoughts of same sex action and try to hide behind the whole that is sick front that they put out there for people to see.) good luck to you.

a family isn’t a family if they dont accept you for who you really are….

you have two options.
tell them, and prepare yourself for the onslaught of “being saved”, or of them outright disowning you. of course, you may also be suprised that your family may “hate the sin but love the sinner”.
or, you can keep it a secret, risk losing your girlfriend because she feels as if you are ashamed of her, and go thru every day knowing you are living a lie. plus, you also get the added bonus of the growing resentment and hatred you build every time your family says something negative about your hidden lifestyle.
good luck!

YES!!! I am bisexual and telling my family and friends was the best thing I have ever done. Granted it wasn’t the easiest, things are a lot easier now. Once you tell them you will feel a relief of a huge amount off your shoulders. Trust me and then you won’t have to run around and hide and have secrets. Good Luck. If they don’t approve then they were never really good friends or relatives.

regardless of what you think they will say you really don’t know

don’t ever forget that
you also are the only person who can make yourself happy

I would definitely tell them. The sooner the better. The sooner you tell them, the quicker it will take them to get used to it. They will except you for the choices that you have made with your own life sooner of later. I have a few gay friends and relatives and I would rather them tell me then, keep a secret from me. If you are proud of it, you should have nothing to hide…..Good luck

i think it would be best if you and your g/f sit down with ur parents and tell them because parents should love you and support u on any decision you make in your life yea they wont be as happy but it really doesnt matter what they think if u like bein a lesbian then b one dont try n hide it because itll only make things worse i know becaus eim bisexual n i told my parents they werent all that pleased about it but thet got use to it so i know wut ur going through tea i know its hard to talk to parents believe me i know cuz u dont know how there gonna react or how there gonna take but the best thing to do is always be honest to your parents even thoughits hard just try your best to hope things will work out

i just know one thing … if we cant give happiness to anyone … we dont have the right to give sadness… this thing can be kept a secret and what purpose will it solve by telling the world… who cares and who has the time … except ur oen ones who will natrually be angry and it will spoil the atmosphere of the home … even if u think it is orthodox.. why hurt them …for what u may be or may be not

It’s YOUR decision. Tell them when you are comfortable with telling them. Ya cant please all people, all the time…Family included. I would hope that your family bond is strong, and they will accept you for who you are.
Good luck!
ps, You dont mention your parents?

HOLD UP! WAIT A MINUTE! DO YOUR FAMILY KNOW THAT IT IS A SIN TO HATE OTHERS BECAUSE OF THEIR SEXUAL CHOICE? THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING A LESBIAN,GAY,BISEXUAL OR ANYTHING ELSE. IT IS NATURAL AND THEY SHOULD REALIZE THAT. IF THEY CAN’T ACCEPT YOU AND CONTINUE TO LOVE YOU THE WAY FAMILY IS SUPPOSED TO.THEN CUT THEM OFF AND MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE. YOU DESERVE TO BE HAPPY RATHER WITH A MAN, WOMAN OR HE/SHE. SO TELL THEM, TRY TO GET THEM TO UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT OF VIEW AND IF THEY CAN’T SCREW THEM.

im not sure what the best thing for you to do. honestly sometimes your better off not telling anyone. but if you were going to tell anyone i would suggest your dad first. he sounds more accepting and understanding.
