Younger me thought this might mean that they could have a problem with it. Realising that I felt unable to come out to them face-to-face because of the rising feeling of dread, I wrote my mum a letter and my dad a text, explaining my feelings. Thankfully, they were both - and have continued to be - very accepting.
Give them time to process. Parents and carers can have a lot of hopes and expectations about who you might be when you grow up, and being LGBTQ+ could be one that has never even crossed their mind. If your news is a surprise, their behaviour might seem dismissive or even unaccepting.
