Any advice on coming out to my parents?

[Jenny A]

I am moving on to college in two weeks so I will be out of the house thankfully. I am not dependent on their money either because I have a full scholarship to college. So, I do not think I will have much of a problem if they have a really negative reaction.

However, my brother still has to live with them for 4 more years. He has said to me that when I'm gone to college if they try to make him go to church he will refuse. So, I just feel like it is all going to come out at once in the wrong way. 

Thanks for the advice by the way. I guess instead of announcing it ill just distance myself and if it comes out somehow then so be it.

I gather you are more worried about hurting your parents or making life difficult for your brother anything else about coming out?  If so I like the simply distancing yourself idea.  However, I would think through in advance how you are going to handle it when your parents ask you about your brother, because that is probably going to happen.
