How'd your family react to your coming out?

If you're someone who happens to be gay, bi-sexual, trans or anything else under the LGBTQ+ banner, how did it go revealing your truth to your parents, rest of your family and friends? How did they react to the news? I'm straight, but I know gay people who have told their family and friends about their sexuality. Some didn't go the way they liked, and some took a while to get through it.

I know not all families and friends are accepting of that, but I think it's good to let them know, because it will tell you if they're accepting or not. If they're not, you at least get an idea of the family/friends who don't like that news. So you can move on from them if you want to. Especially if you can't change their feelings on it.

It was not that easy to come out to my family. My mom did not understand, my dad hardly uttered a word. But with time, things changed. I continued to open up to them, explaining and letting them see from my perspective. Though, it takes time.
