Not at all. Im bisexual myself and have a gay nonbinary partner. Botz also very neruodivergent. Soooo it wouldnt be any change for us lol
But if you're looking for advice, dont do like my parents and do not aknowledge it at all. I did "silent outing" as in i just dropped hints here and there. And dont assume they are gay and then say "i know you're gay" while in a fighting argument with them. Ask them or even better just say "no matter who you're attracted to, we will always love you and be there for you".
The way I always saw it was "ok? If we are shifting names or pronouns, just let me know. If you need ideas I've got a few you can reject but other than that, it changes literally nothing. You are still you and if this makes you happy that's all I can ask for." At least that's what I generally mean. Usually I'll just say ok and ask if they're hungry or something
Sadly not all parents are like that :(
The world would be a better place if they were
Though funny enought without both our parents being bad, me and my partner wouldnt have met nore bonded :)
Love through trauma bond is a tale as old as time
