Speaking of family, for all the lgbt people here how supportive are your fam from 1-10 where 1 is they’d rather you weren’t and 10 being out there yelling to the world that their kid is gay and they love them. And 5 being happy for you and all that and otherwise leaving you be.
Curious how it is for everyone else
Close family is easily a 10 except they never talk about me to others simply because I told them I don't like them talking about me to others about anything related to myself (unless you know it's some trivial thing like I went with my son to buy groceries or you know stuff we did in the past or all that). It's mainly because I don't like people having a pre image of me and yadda yadda.
Extended family, they don't know. I decided they wouldn't find out, for my own sake. When it comes to my mother's extended family, they're mostly from Germany and they're accepting so I wouldn't care telling them, but when it comes to my father's family, they're rather ehhh... You know, difficult to deal with, not only with LGBT related topics but in general. Most likely if I told them they'd say they're accepting of it but then talk shit behind my back and make loud jokes about it, and that's not the worst, they'd probably blame my mother for my "deviation" and at that point I'd have to change my last name and detach from them before I did mean things to them only mean boys do.
Sadly, I will be spending Christmas eve with that part of the family, but luckily I'll spend New Years eve with my mother's family, so that's way better.
