Hi, I need your help to come out to my Muslim (and very homophobic) parents.

I'm a lesbian, 27 yo, in a 3-year relationship and financially stable.

I am currently living with my family, but my gf and I have signed a lease for an apartment.

All the process is behind my family's back, and thinking about when I will move out gives me a lot of anxiety.

That's why I'm asking for your help. If you could share tips on how to come out, how to deal with the anxiety or share your experiences, I can know what's waiting for me.

I'm not close to my family and I know they won't accept me, but I struggle with the idea of hurting them.

Thanks y'all!

To clarify: I want to come out because I want to be authentic to who I am.

I always suppressed my feelings and desires to avoid conflict with my parents.

I'm tired of it, I want to be true to myself. And about my partner, we both are aware of the situation, she gets it and supports me no matter what.
