Thanks, everyone,

Lorelei Hi! I just want to start by saying that I am atheist, and also Lesbian. I'm not out to my family, but I will say that I support you no matter what. My grandparents are religous, and I realing don't know if they support it, so I understand what your saying, a bit. I would just say, being a lesbian isn't who​​​​​​​ you are, it's part of who you are. Your sexaulity shouldn't define you. I would try telling them that, and that you are the same person that you used to be, this is just a little peice of you. It's not much advice, but I hope it helps! :)

That's probably the best way you could tell anyone that

I'm an atheist and queer, and my dad's family is very religious. My grandma's bi but doesn't understand nonbinary identities. My grandfather and uncle on my mom's side are quite conservative, and idk how to come out to them. And telling people I'm genderqueer is just... idk, they won't understand.
