Hello,
It annoys me how religion holds people back from being themselves... I know in my past experience of coming out my grandmother is highly religious and homophobic like my brother is but i had to grip the attitude if they love me and always have they will understand.. Of course coming out you get backlash regardless of sex, religion, skin colour, etc etc it tends to be down to your own ancestors inheritance however one thing i did notice through this is when one in the family comes out the others tend to understand a bit more about lifestyles than they expected.. Of course theres some that are just plain NOT willing to understand like my brother and my nan but those people some can block from their lives and some cant.. Me.. I can because my heart is cold on certain topics and a slight disagreement can cause this...
If you were to come out to someone to ease pressure dont rush it you get one stab at it and maybe it would be worth sort of catergorizing people for example use a 1 - 10 scale.. 1 being most understanding and 10 being almost impossible.. I done this and it soon got me confidence to be defiant in myself and show people i cant hide any longer...
Best of luck babes and remember if ya need support we will all support u 100%
kindest regards
