i came out to my mom when i was 13 and was hit with the “what do you know you’re still a child”, i’m off to college now and she’s subtly accepting that it was never a phase alongside the rest of my family. besides my dad and brother, never told em cuz they’re homophobic. so i say go for it if you know its safe
Sorry for the long message but I was really moved at that scene too, so I gotta yap a bit... I'd say you look for signs. My parents were born in the 70s so it's kinda hard to persuade them because of generation gap so I've never tried :(
I've always loved long hairstyle like mullet or wolf cut and every time mom saw me she always told me to cut it short because I looked too gay/too feminine. I've stuck with the "it's for hair donation" excuse for 2 years now
I guess our family's bloodline ends with me since I'm not marry a woman, but as long as I can live comfortably without having to lose anything, I'd do it even if I'm not being true to myself... I guess you can gauge the reactions or beat around the bush or something like that. Anyway I hope you can find the choice you're comfortable with :)

I just had a mental breakdown because of the MC coming out to his parents, someone out there, should I come out??????
