I’d also recommend seeing what sort of laws are in your state. Do you know any family that is confirmed to be cool around “the gays”?

Also, I just really wanted to comment because i want you to know that you’re not alone out there, and that theres a lot of solace you can find on spaces like these. Tumblr and Reddit were formative for me even though i began identifying as nonbinary yesrs later.

Lastly is there a Gay-Straight Alliance (or the more forward names they call em now but i forget) at your school? Joining a safe space could also help a lot in terms of mental health without necessarily coming out to your parents.
