i came out yesterday

congratulations,, life will be much easier for you now l'm sure..:sunglasse

 

Congratulations, Patch. Now that you mother knows, it's really good to have a heart-to-heart mother-daughter talk with her. If successful, you might try to get your mom in touch with PFLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) -- if your mom hasn't done so already. Their Web site is www.pflag.org.

 

Patch~ congrad's!!! sounds like you will be much happier now that it's out in the open!

 

If they found out then what? I mean really, what would they do?
I have learned from experience that the truth will always come out sooner or later. When my parents found out I am bi, they flipped on me. Then I said "fuck you! if you all can't just be happy for me then I don't need you in my life!" and since then they are all good with my choice. I think they were more willing to accept my choices then to loose me forever.

 

Good for you...I'm happy to hear that you did that.

On the other hand, Lady Pink Floyd's parents could be anti-gay religious conservatives. Under those circumstances, it may not be safe for her to come out to them. I can't tell you how many horror stories I've read of queer kids (especially boys) who got kicked out of the house by their homophobic parents after they found out.

um...this is kind of an old post...i was really surprised to see it resurfaced...
right now things are going kind of ok...it is still really awkward around my mom...she is very uncomfortable but at the same time we have gained a greater understanding and i would quite say a bond...but she drives me a little less up-the-wall...as for my dad...there is probably no hope...i'll just leave him in te dark untill there is no way around it.
it is awesome at my school now though...everyone knows and i really have nothing to worry about...i have come so much closer to so many people i know and everything is just comfortable...even most of my teachers know...which feels good because i don't really care that they are aware (oh god what an annoying rhyme.) My acting teacher (and really good friend) knows and is really supportive and he jokes around with me. when i tell my peers i feel like a burden is being lifted...because i don't have to think about my mom finding out.

and the weed thing...that has absolutely nothing to do with me being gay...it was just there...and i got in huge trouble for it...how she got my being a lesbian from the weed is a mystery to me...

that's my update...yay life kind of i guess...
