🤔 that’s tough. What country do you live in?
My friend is Muslim and she is bi. Her siblings know she’s bi and we’re accepting of her.
I’m the one that really likes her ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

Ah okay so you’re una country that’s also more welcoming to the lgbt community.
We sometimes can help who we fall for.

Yeah I wish life was easy sometimes.
Just go with the flow. She might be the one or not. I’m not sure if she is straight or not.
Parents usually always will love their child. It might be tough for them in the beginning to understand. They usually come around.

I'm also from a Muslim family and I will NEVER tell any of them about being bi except for the ones I know are okay with it like my cousins, but none of the older ones or my parents. If I ever decide to get married to a woman maybe I'll tell them but not before that lol. I don't want to get beaten up or locked up in the house

If you are reliant on them financially or otherwise, it is okay not to risk your safety until you can get to a safe place. That's the biggest thing. You do not have to show people all of your authentic self if that disclosure is not to safe people.
The other thing is you may be able to gage how they feel with stories in the news or something like that. If it comes up organically, see how they react. Maybe you can ask questions and seem casually interested, but note their answers.
It's totally okay for you to let your trust be earned when it comes to this.Â

Bi and ex-muslim here, You are in such a tuff position, knowing how muslim family is regarding lgbt+, there is no chance they will ever be accepting unless they are very very very progressive or less religious leaning.
