Happy Pride Month! While a lot of things happening in the world have been looking dark, I'm hopeful that we can continue the progress on LGBT+ rights across the world. Until every country, city, village and farm is liberated from homophobia and transphobia, I will not cease being passionate about this issue.
I'll share my experiences a bit like the OP asked. Personally, I can also say that I'm thankful for my parents being the relatively liberal part of the family, and for my friends being always so accepting.
In 11th grade, more than four years ago, I came out to my highschool friend group for the first time, using a WhatsApp message. Their acceptance of me, which was really smooth and kind with a lot of positive joking around, felt very liberating and I feel like might've been one of the biggest turning poingts of my life. Then, about a year later, I came out to my mother. She cried a lot and took it very hard, especially considerng my sister is a lesbian, and is still insisting that she hopes it can change. It's saddening because it means that a huge part of my life is something I'm not comfortable sharing with her, and I hope that she can also come to understand my boyfriend is making me very happy, and appreciate him for making her son happy. My mother told father too, but we hadn't talked about it because we rarely talk emotions- she says he took it hard, but I didn't really see it. Hopefully when I move in with the bf they react well.
My extended family and grandfather are extremely homophobic- my grandfather will probably not know until (as grim as it is to admit) the day he dies, while I'm really not looking forward for the reactions of my uncle and aunt etc. I know full well that while I'm popular in the family right now and considered somewhat of a pride, that will change once my sexual orientation becomes a well-known fact. I'm fine with it. I'm at least happy that my cousin, who's about my age, is surprisingly accepting and nice to me about it. Kind of innocent, too- unaware of his parents' homophobia, he asked me when we'll meet my bf. Kinda makes me sad to think about- I'd really love to bring him to family events, he's a very polite, intelligent and nice person and if not for us being a same sex couple, they'd love him.
Just a bit of rambling
I hope that this might help some people understand how deeply impactful homophobia is for us, even on things that heterosexuals see as obvious parts of life.
I am confused why there is a month when there is already a separate Pride day? 
Nothing against it, just curious
From what I see in my country, at least, every city has its Pride Parade in another day, considering stuff like weather, circumstances, and a different nature of the parade in every city. So a day isn't enough- a whole month allows to hold parades across the country, and to raise awareness to different issues regarding the LGBT+ community, especially considering it's such a big issue.
