    I want my grandma to know, but this is more difficult even than coming out to my parents.

    I've always talked about how much I want children, and I still do. But right now, she believes I'll end up getting married to a man and having children of my own. I know she won't disown me or anything, but it'll still be kind of awful.

    Any advice?

    You: Do you love me?
    Grandma: Yes of course
    You: no matter what?
    Grandma: yes why?
    You: I'm gay

    You just have to tell her, it's never easy to come out to people but at least you know she won't react badly. Just tell her that you are worried she'll be upset and it's only because you love her that you have to let her know.

    Good luck :)

    when your starting to tell her, just let her know how much you're worried about it and how much you both love eachother and will always have eachothers backs. Sometimes in situations it's just better overall to tell the other person that you're nervous or worried. The convo will go much smoother, trust me.

    i reread this post and it's basically the same as TipsyGypsy's lol but hey the situation is pretty straightforward. Build the guts up to do it, cuz it'll just be a thing of the past. Once you drop the bomb, the floodgates open, so just do it.

    good luck :)

  7. Yeah, just do it! No more to be said. Good luck! I'm sure she'll be more understanding than you think. People usually are.
