how and when did you find out your sexuality? (lemmy.ml)

Here's my story.

Sometime in April a guy who was a friend of a friend started touching me, yes I know I should have not let this happen but I found him kinda hot so I let him touch me. Started questioning when I got home. I then developed a slight crush on him but got over it after a few weeks. At this point I figured out that I might be bi. I'm currently questioning what label of bi I fall under. I might be omni or just plain old bi

I should have handled the situation differently but it caused me to learn about myself.

I wish I had the balls to come out to family. Hate being closeted but I'm not sure if coming out is safe. Family is kinda open minded but super religious

Yikes, that does sound like a conundrum. I haven't come out to my parents either, they're in their 80's and I've figured I'm getting off easier by not telling them and basically haven't bothered. But I get why someone would want to have their family know, too.
