[what is this post even about? So much longer than I wanted it. tl;dr]

I get that question alot, "do your parents know?"
I always say "Iunno".

But to be honest, they HAVE to know, my mom more specifically. When I was 13, I lived with her and her boyfriend and his two kids. Boyfriend's son, Riley, was 11, and his mom (poor excuse for a human, let alone a mother) tried to sue her ex-husband (my mom's new boyfriend) because she was convinced that I was going to molest him. Mind you, I had JUST come out of the closet when I was 13, and it was to people at school, no family. On my birthday last week, my mom and I were gossiping and she was telling about how Riley's mom and sister are suddenly convinced that Riley is gay. My mom then said "It's probably because 'your gayness rubbed off on him'.". Mind you that we've never acknowledged that fact that I'm gay. I just thought it was funny, and now I've gone on and on about something irrelevant.

What did I even start this post for? Right, I think it's true when they say a mother always knows. And if she didn't know, she might be stupid:
When I was 4, my favorite song was "I will always love you", by Whitney Houston.
When I was 7, my favorite song was "Livin' la vida loca", by Ricki Martin.

I liked Britney Spears intensely until about 2004,
and I never showed any interest in girls whatsoever, even to "closet myself", I guess, for lack of a better term.

I realize that those are all a bunch of stereotypes, but STILL.


Okay, to the point of my post:

Who's out to their parents, and who isn't?
Did you coming out to your parents go well, or not so well?
Let's have a discussion.

My mother badgered me until I told her, claiming the entire time that she would accept me and other nonsense. When I said "yes," she completely flipped the script and started telling me I was going to hell and yadda ******** manipulative c**t... emotion_eyebrow

Not that I'm completely ignoring your post,
but there is so much going on in your signature, I'm not sure what to do with myself.

I never really tell my parents much as my mom always fights about everything with and I try to avoid that, but I wonder they sort of know.

My mom is always trying bring up boys sayings stuff like showing off to them or how cute they are. I like guys a lot but at times I find girls attractive and tend to be more awkward around them for some reason (I just don't get along with a lot other girls though for some reason).

I always been usual and I know people think I am weird at the very least, I don't don't know what they think is weird. Can people sense things?

Now they kind over looked the fact about me crossplaying though at one time my mom said something like "Does it have to be a guy? It could be a girl or neither." I had to explain that he is a guy (it was a jrock costume).

As for my favorite songs as a kid, it was "Too Much Time On My Hands" by Styx. I didn't care too much about the boy bands though I went a long with it to fit in better. I was more of a rock, punk, alternative and new wave kind of girl.

And now the Cerberus, it stands;
Head in heart;
Heart in hand;
I watch to hear that melancholy dirge.

____________________________________________________



I'm bi, and actually came out to my mom about a year ago. Me and my ex broke up, and I dated a guy I'd like a long time as a rebound, kinda, except I really cared about him. She was hella accepting about it, too. She said pretty much that she'd support me completely, and that if I ever needed anything, to let her know.

My stepdad, I have no clue about honestly. I dunno if she told him or not. Either way, he makes little gay jokes about me every now and then, and I usually come back with something that makes him shut up and everyone else laugh. For example.

Dad: What the hell are you two doing on your bed in there?
Me: Messin' around with TJ's new camera. We're trying to find a way hook A/V up to a laptop that doesn't have those connections.
Dad: I never could get a hang on that kinda stuff. Cause I'm not... You know. -limps wrist-
Me: You're just jealous I give better hand jobs than you.
Dad: -silence, shakes head like he's disturbed and walks off-
Me and TJ: -bust up laughing-

So yeah. O.o

I know it's true, my love for you;
I jumped into the depths of Hell;
To save you from these rotten swells;
And still, you sing that melancholy dirge.

I'm out to mostly everyone important in my family, my mom took it pretty well and was very supportive, however my dad changed. now he barely talks to me and cares less what happens to me.
My little brother also took it pretty well too, a little tear here and there but no rejection...my sister is a whole different story though, she's homophobic.

That's abnormal,
what's her deal?

I agree with you, I believe mothers always know, but I think the one's who "didn't know" per say, simply didn't want to believe it, or just thought it was a thought, and not actually real.
My family, that's a long story xD To keep it short, I live in the south, so we have "bible thumpers here" so it was a bit difficult, but now I am out to my entire family, friends, everyone.

Both my parents know! Yay!

I have never come out to my parents.
My mother...I'm pretty positive knows.
She and my Aunt are very close. My Aunt tells my cousin everything. My cousin tells me everything.
She told me that they had a discussion about a talk my mother and I had one day when we were out to lunch.
As soon as I heard the word gay in a sentence I knew what she was doing.
She was trying to get me to tell her.
I know my mom would accept me, we have gays in the family, and quite a few of them.
But, my father is a homophobe.
He told my mother that if either me or my sister turned out to be homosexual, he'd have nothing to do with us.
She told me this that day, and then asked me, "Do you think your gay?"
I was VERY tempted to say, "No, I know I am."
Instead I said, "Why would I tell you after what you just told me."
She'd have to be an idiot not to know.
She isn't.

I'm still in the closet- to most people. I've told a couple of people, not many. I'm not sure when I'm gonna tell anyone, though. None of them cared. (I'm kinda scared to tell my friends- a few of them are Christians, so yeah. But they don't seem like the hardcore 'you're going to hell' type. So I'm not sure sad

Tell 'em, if they have a problem, tell 'em to ******** off.

If they aren't willing to accept you for who you are, and somehow would rather the company of the pages of a book of fairy tales over an actual person who cares about them, then you don't need them, they're a waste.

Just stand up tall, be sickening, and make them EAT IT

That makes me so absolutely frustrated.
Any parent who would disown their child for being gay is an absolutely terrible excuse for a human being, let alone a parent.
