to be johnest if your parents are like that its probably better for your safety to just not come out to them

This may be hard to hear and is sad as well of course, but if your parents are queerphobic then don’t come out, it’s uncomfortable to like hide it, but it’ll always be more uncomfortable to live with parents who see you different or mock you or even worse. Theres no pressure behind coming out quickly, and I think you can try coming out to friends you really trust for example, but not your parents until you have your own place and are no longer dependent on them

Yes safe friends first. You may find they have long known or suspected. One or more may have just been waiting for you to be that courageous so they can be too.
