My mom went though her self proclaimed "trump era" during the 2016 elections after my sister came out as bi. It was hell. I'm terrified of what she'll do if I tell her I'm trans and have known so for 5+ years.
My sister's boyfriend is trans (on HRT for 3 years) but she's started going own a spiral again after my sister told her, today she dropped the line of "He is NOT getting my blessing!" and my (homophobic but doesn't know) grandma said "well guess [sister] is gonna be like me and Pop!" as my grandma didn't get a blessing for her marriage.
You may not get a blessing from your family for who you truly are. However there are a ton of folks that support you and whoever/However you want to live your life.
Be gay Do crime And be kind ๐
I don't know your situation, but I'm glad I came out even though my parents and others rejected me for it. A lot of things in my life are worse because of their rejection, but my life as a whole is better just for living as myself.
