Good for you and your coming out party! It's not an easy decision.

I've had the conversation you're having with your family. No correct answers but lots to consider.

Direct argument - ends up getting emotional, then personal, then smoldering bridges.

Patronizing - the Irish way - say something obsequious or something pithy to communicate your unwillingness to discuss the topic. Then again, you did post to FB, so....

Be yourself. What is the goal - what do you really want to say? Maybe construct your narrative backwards. Start with the end and work back to lay out your arguments.

Be thoughtful and good luck.
