A few days ago I was one step closer to coming out but now I doubt its safe to come out. My parents just proved that they are extremely religious and would get pissy about how im bi ( actually omni but I use bi ) and how i despise the Catholic church.

The only thing stopping me from coming out is religion. Anyone in the same boat? What do i do?

Religion should not be a synonim of homophobia.

They are not extemely religious but homophobic. Sadly in modern times, with the doing of many high profile "religious" figures, this has overlapped.

I know people that were in the same as you... You may need to just ignore your parents here. Sometimes people do not want to understand. The other option is calmly discussing it with them.

I'm just sad because first of all in a minor so I can't leave and second I thought they were actually supportive for a second.
