hello my fellow lovely people.
I have a slight rant and I kinda need a lil advice.
details you can skip if you want because of the tl;dr
so I’ve got some family visiting this summer, and I’ve been thinking about it, and I think I want to come out to my aunt as bi. most of my family believes that LGBTQIA+ people are wrong because God didn’t make them that way (I could rage against this for hours but I won’t) but anyway, my aunt is completely different- as far as I know she’s highly liberal and progressive and open about it, she’s literally kinda famous-ish in her country for it.
the only thing is, part of me isn’t sure even though I know it’ll probably go over well with her, there’s still some of me in doubt, some of me wondering if it’d bring awkwardness to her or me knowing that she’d theoretically be the first person related to me who knows and she’s my aunt, not my mum or my dad, and I don’t see her more than every few years even though we’re literally like sisters when we do meet. and I’m also not sure how to tell her that I am not coming out to anyone else in my family unless or until I’m involved in a serious relationship with a female later on in my life. I’m not sure based on her if she’d ask me to try to come out to my parents or not either.
so tl;dr, I’m about 98% sure I can trust my aunt to accept me as a ragin’ bi and keep my secret, but I feel like it could be awk or weird, but I also feel like coming out to at least one family member would help me be able to accept me more because I want to know someone in the family can be supportive. should I come out to her?

I definitely think telling your aunt is something you should really do.
Keeping a something like this from your parents can be stressful, and make you feel like you can’t accept your true self. Telling a trusted family member/relative should really help you feel better, supported and much more confident about yourself.
Also when the time comes were you feel like you should come out to your parents, having some like your aunt to help back and support you will make a huge difference —
[I hope you know that everyone here, all love you and support you with whatever decision you make]

In my opinion, you should come out to your aunt. According to your explanation, she seems to be a person with wide horizons and if you do come out to a person who is close to you and is not against the LGBTQIA+ people, it will help make you confident and you’ll be more open to and less afraid of the person you may come out to next. So, yeah. Go get 'em tiger. XD

By all means, tell your aunt! Even if it will be awkward, you’ll feel so free after you come out. It will help you be ready to come out to more people!

you may be! it does sound asexual, but there could be other reasons why you don’t feel any sexual attractions or anything. i don’t have so much advice for you, but to just think about it and to remember that you can always identify as asexual right now, or in the future, there’s nothing wrong with it!!
