Serious question: why do people feel the need to come out at big events like this where it is already going to be a stressful situation going on with so many different personalities, backstories, opinions, and tensions involved? Isn’t this just baiting drama? Why not come out to whom you need to as you want to but in smaller sessions?

The exception, I guess, is us you’re already pretty confident most people know/are already accepting or some such.

I’m fully open to the fact that this may be an, “ok boomer” situation for me since I was already pretty independent when I came out (was outted) so I really didn’t need to care for my own situation as much as I cared about the impact on those whom the information was thrust upon them without my being able to control the conversation.

Sorry to hear OP. In a similar boat with one set of grandparents but either way you’re loved. Don’t let that get you down.

I’m sorry 😞😞😞

Was talking to a friend a few days ago whom came out last thanksgiving. He said the reason why he chose thanksgiving was in case his family disowned him, thanksgiving every year would then remind them of the time they disowned their son. Lol so vengeful. Good thing it all turned out well

Interesting approach. Also has the added benefit of determining pretty immediately who he could turn to if part of the family disowned him and another part didn’t.

If it makes you feel better, I have shitty relatives and great relatives. Sorry your grandma is shit. But the others are probably ok.

Hey Folks !
Need a piece of advice.

They know about my personal situation (same-sex relationship, unmarried couple).
The job sounds great, but also a dilemma as my partner wouldn't be supported in this relocation. Do you have experience with continent relocations and how s your partner / family supported ? Thanks, Gafi
