Most African countries, homosexuality still remains illegal, and the few people who have come out to say that they are gay are being discriminated against.
In the recent census results, it showed that in Kenya there are 1,524 people who are intersex.
Even though the mention of the word is a taboo, here are some of the ways to open up if you are homosexual.
Be Comfortable with Your Choice
It’s only right for you to be comfortable with yourself first before you tell others and expect them to accept your choice.
Even though gays are viewed as cursed, you need first to stand with your decision.
Build Your Own Support System
For you, coming out to your best friends might be easier than telling your parents. If it’s the case, seek support from your besties first.
As you are unsure about how your parents will react, having a strong support system to back you up is highly beneficial.
Figure the Reasons Out
Instead of thinking about the reasons why you chose to be homosexual, better find the reason why do you want to come out at the first place.
Is it because you don’t want to hide anymore or you proud of yourself, make sure it’s crystal clear.
Be Prepared for Their Reaction
Ready to tell them means you are ready for the consequences as well. Be prepared for the most extreme ones in the instance, you are kicked out from the house.
Anything can happen, maybe the one you never thought in your worst nightmare. After all, it’s always good to prepare for the worst.
Pick Up the Right Time
No matter how supportive your parents are to every move you make, timing is everything.
