    One of my friends recently came out of the closet with me and told me that she's been seeing her GF for the past 6 months. She comes from a very strict and traditional Asian background, and she doesn't know how to break the news to her parents. She's asked me for advice, but coming from a strict family myself, I really don't know how to tell her to approach them.

    I'd appreciate it if you guys could offer some sound advice, and I'll thank you on her behalf.

    it really depends..

    1. it depends how much the parents are willing to allow their kids to follow their own dreams rather than what the parents tell them, usually from this kind of family background, it is more liek the parents are telling you want they want you do.. (imo)...

    2. there should always be one parents that is more open minded than the other and a parent that you can always talk to the most, could try out that way but may backfire

    3. can approach the brave result and just tell them face to face, at the end of the day they may not approve of it but eventually they will have to accept it coz at the end of the day the "homosexual" person is still their kid, however there maybe "looking down" attitude at yor friend tho....
    on the otherhand your friend could get disowned if that family really do not approve homosexuality, so i suggested to tell her to save up some money first or find a place to stay for back up lol

    4. not telling them at all to not cause any troubles and problems at all... simples...

    I don't think there's ever an easy way to let your parents in on this kind of secret. The best thing your friend could do is sit her parents down, let them know how much she loves them and that she never wanted to disappoint them. Then let them know that *insert gf's name* really makes her happy, and wish that they could support her.

    If her parents truly love her, they'll just have to come to terms with it.

    lol psychology at its best.

  11. if her parents r never gonna accept her being a lesbian it's better just not to tell...

    i got a fd who's gay and his mum kinda suspected him... n she told him never to tell her that his gay... she'd just rather seeing him not get married... just don't tell her that he's with a guy...

    Well, I personally think homosexual is immoral but I respect your choice. If I, an outsider can respect that, I can't see why your own parents won't do so. You just gotta tell them and give them time to accept who you are. Bottom line, happiness is what your parents want for you.

    just tell i guess. don't really know if its easier for parents to accept their girls as lesbian than sons as gays.

    Just told them, no need to hide it from parents. It is better that you told them than they discover by themself. COURAGE !!!!

    yea just tell them, they will love u and will have to accept it sooner or later. besides, if ur that worried just say ur bi at the mo and then later tell them. eases the pain that way i guess.

    ^ like being bisexual make a difference. like i said earlier, just tell your parents. if you can't even be honest with your family especially parents, who else can you do it. courage or not, i think it's something you have to do.

    lol for girls being "bi-sexual" is just an experimentation phase, that means they aren't really gay. for guys its different though, if you a bi you still homo as fuck.

    lol im telling the truth lol, i don't think girls can be 100% gay unless they look like a man or they had a bad history with men (in that case they weren't gay but were forced to be?). prove me wrong.
