I NEED YOUR HELPPPP

ok so hereโ€™s some background infoโ€ฆ
so Iโ€™m 15, and have grown up in a Christian home. My family is very religious, and i would consider myself somewhat religious also. My family does not support lgbtq+ and not in a really hateful way. (Although sometimes I cringe at the things they say-)
I also didnโ€™t support lgbtq for a while, and I was even bullied for it. But since about 5/6th grade I started having โ€œgirl crushesโ€ and attractions to girls ig.
In the past few months Iโ€™ve realized that Iโ€™m actually lesbian- soโ€ฆ
I think I was just upset whenever I saw someone who was out because I knew I could never do that, no matter how bad I wanted it.
I met some amazing and supportive people, (they both bi lol) and theyโ€™ve helped me accept my sexuality ๐Ÿ™‚)

(Ok sorry for the long unnecessary information, Iโ€™ve just been holding that all in for years and have told absolutely no one except those two friends I mentioned ๐Ÿ™‚)

andddddddd they want to go to my states pride parade together.
i really really want to go, but my parents would NEVER let me go, and if they found out I went I would lose my phone, get grounded, and then they would probably kill me for lying to them. And going to a pride parade lol.
What should i do?? Should i risk it to go to the parade? And how would I even do that? ๐Ÿ˜š ๐Ÿค”
And how can/should I come out to unsupportive parents/family?

This might not be what you want to hear, but
If going to a pride parade puts you in danger, don't go!
If coming out to your family puts you in danger, don't come out to your family!

I think you probably know best what the risk is for being discovered when going to the pride parade and what the consequences would be. You have to decide for yourself, if it is worth it! Nobody else can make that decision for you and I think they also shouldn't, because of how much it could put you in danger!

I'm not saying this to scare you, but my guardian kicked me out of the house and I became homeless when they found out I was queer. I do not know your parents, but if you think they would harm you or in any way make your quality of life miserable, I would not recommend doing anything that could out you to them.

If it were me I would also be careful about posting about your queer identity on public sites like this where they could possibly see it. Same goes for messages about being queer they might be able to find on your phone.

Please stay safe!

@Moogle
thank you for the advice! i'll probably keep my gayness low-key now lol ๐Ÿ˜›
im so so sorry your parents didn't accept you for who you are, you did not deserve to be treated like that. I really hope you're doing well now, and embracing your identity. <3
