Is it possible...

This isn't an un-gayification thread. Is it possible to go through one's entire life and not tell one's parents about being gay or ambisexual? Are there any of you who have never told your parents and never plan to? Basically, does it work?

 

You can try...Also, if your parents are dead, you can live your whole life not telling them.

 

Im not going to tell my parents until Im in a serious relationship with another girl... I think it would be hard to just NEVER tell them.. you would either have to never have any gay relationships, or just never tell your parents about your gay relationships.. which would be hard cuz im sure your boyfriend/girlfriend (sorry, dont kno your gender) would want to meet your parents and would feel that by you not introducing them to him/her that you are ashamed of him/her. It would be quite easy if you were just not close with your parents at all.. but if you are, then I would think it would be a neccesity to tell them because you would feel bad keeping something so huge from them...

 

I don't really thing I could do that. Although, I'm sure it has been done.

 

I haven't told my parents, and don't plan to. They're not a big part of my life, and I don't tell them much personal stuff anyway. So it does/can work depending on the background.

 

Thats what I did when I was 23. I was so happy and I didnt care who knew. I wanted to share that feeling with others instead of keeping it a secret. Four years later Im still with him and still happy.

 

Hmmm, I plan on telling my mom once I graduate High School in a few months.
As for my dad, I could care less telling him since I don't talk to him or associate myself with him. I couldn't give a crap about what he thinks or how he finds out.

I don't plan on telling my grandparents because they're basically Catholic freaks. I'll leave that one for my mom to tell them because I do not want to tell them myself and have to hear their bullshit. I love and care for them and all, but not enough on this situation for having to tell them myself. I really don't care. If they find out, they find out. If they don't, they don't. I wouldn't feel bad if I hid it from them.

But yeah, I feel it's important to at least tell a parent or older figure thats like a parent to you. As long as its someone who you know will love and accept you, even if they're not so happy about it at first.
