I come from a conservative Catholic family.

I really want to tell them that I’m gay. But, I’m afraid that they will reject me. What should I do?

ummm…me too, the catholic family part, not the gay part….just tell them, or write a note. if they are really catholic, they are supposed to accept everyone, and believe that its your choice about your preferences….

My advice: Don’t tell them until you’re old enough to leave your house.
If you tell them, they won’t kick you out of the house because they’re your parents and they love you, always. But they will give you weird looks, it won’t be the same relationship as you have now.
Make sure you want to make this choice, of telling them. It will be hard and it might take time so that they can accept or even just respect you.

Cya, hope I helped.

Start off with telling them that you have 100% trust in the teachings of the Catholic Church and intend to live an entirely chaste lifestyle. And then do just that!
