Tell your parents you were gay? I don't plan to for a while, but when I do, I want to tell her properly and not have her catch me by accident...I have no idea how she'd take the news..
I just kind of sat down next to my mom and told her. My dad found out through her, and he and I talked about it while we were walking the dog. It was easier than I thought it would be, partially because they took it well. I understand that it might not be so easy for others whose parents are different.
I had it easy, because I pretty much knew my parents would be fine- the hard part was admitting it, and also swallowing my pride. It's one of those situations where you can sit and think about it and stress yourself out planning out exactly how the conversation is going to go..........or, you can just take a deep breath, and say it. Although your heart will be pounding and you'll feel really stressed, it's important that you know that once you are open about it, you'll feel much better- no matter what the immediate reaction from your parents is. Good luck! Try not to worry about it too much! Cheers and Much Love, Dylan
My ex-boyfriend left my sexuality on their answering machine because he was mad at me. It was hard at first, my mom's a "Born again" and my dad is from Oklahoma lol. . so it took them a while to get used to it. I moved out at first, then they invited me back in. . then we went through that awkward phase when they'd say rude things like. . "Well I'd rather you be gay than dead. . I guess" LOL. . and now they're all about the people I date and stuff like that. Even if it's nearly impossible at first, usually they will come to terms with it over time. Plus, regardless of what anyone says. . Mom's always know before you tell them. Dad's can be tricker. . but Mom always knows. Sm**chies! Jacob.
I came home fucked on E and weed and just started ranting about how I like guys and how I was just selling weed to the kid I have a crush on... it was a bitm ore emotional than it should have been... needless to say. :/ Edit: And to the guy above... that's not necessarily true about the moms... my mom had no idea whatsoever.
i told them in the middle of the night randomly and got WTF PWNED by them telling me that I like girls and hate gay people...its all good though i told them their problem not mine if they choose to live in denial
@ amp and piano .. I am glad y'all had an easy time with it, many young people don't especiallly both parents being accepted of it. @ Jacob, it it cool that you and your parents have mended things and they are "interested" in who you're seeing. both of mine knew before I told them. mom wasn't as at ease with it as dad (she's was a bit of a bible thumper), dad was just as if I told him it was cloudy outside he basically said "I figured so because you never talked about girls. Not everyone will be acepting so be careful" and that was it.
my father will be fine with it. i'm positive. i just don't know how to do it. i guess the only way is to just say it.
Yeah mushie, I thought about it for a long time before I told my parents, and came to the same conclusion - the only way to do it is just say it.
i'd just turned 18 and i'd been thinking about how i was going to tell my mum for a long time, i asked the advice of some friends. a girlfriend of mine suggested i told my mum i was bisexual first to kind of 'test the water'. i thought it was a stupid idea, but for some reason when i sat down with my mum and told her, i got scared and blurted it out. my mum was surprised and kept asking if i was sure and if i thought it was just a phase etc while i sat there thinking 'shit, i'm stupid, what do i say now.' my mum could tell there was something wrong so she asked if there was anything else i needed to tell her. i said 'yes, i'm not bisexual.' she said 'yes! i knew it! oh thank god (purely an expression, she's not religious)' and then i simply said 'i'm gay' that was awkward. we went through a very hostile period for over a year, she said some very homophobic things but really she came to terms with my sexuality very quickly, she was just worried about me but showed it in the wrong way. right now she couldn't be more accepting, she loves my boyfriend and he's always welcome in our home. my dad and i have never been very close, i told him because i felt obliged to, he was awkward with it, he still is, but it's fine i know he still cares.
I thought to myself i would never came out but i got Drunk and told my parents and they were absolutly Fine about it.
I assumed mine knew since I was hanging out with my girlfriend everyday for 2 monthes straight. But one day my mom found love letters and provocative photographs of my girlfriend so yeah, I never came out of the closet, I was pulled out kicking and screaming. Looking back I should have just told them and NOT assumed they knew was up.
ive told my dad and brother. my brother told me my mom went all crazy on my dad saying "if Eryn was gay, we'd still love her, right? thats our job, right?" and i guess my dad got upset at her. well im not full-on gay, but i am very bi-sexual. my dad just acted like i told him i was going to make lunch. he said i should be myself and never let anyone bring me down, and that he'll always love me, he was so supportive i couldve cried!! still the best advice i ever got from anyone-"just be yourself thats all you have to do in life. be free." ill wait to tell my mom.
