I hasnt told my family yet, i think ima wait these last four months of living with them before i tell them.
my friends took it really well, most of them happen to be bi or gay. My boyfriend took it better than i thought he would he just said, "ill just not take you around my sister or her girlfriend for awhile." and laughed, then kissed me

For some reason, I don't think that my dad would be accepting about that. My mom might, but I'd rather not risk it.

About 5 years ago I told my parent (not my decision, but that´s another story). I started going to a psychoanalyst and never speak about the subjet with my parents again.
I kno they don´t like it, altough they never show it.
Since a year and a half I live in another city, alone. And five minutes ago I was talking with my mom on the phone about something happening next week and I said the name Juan Manuel a couple times. As I never named him before she asked who Juan Manuel was. And I didn´t want to lie, so I said ´He´s my boyfriend´.
We spoke half a minute hafter that, she was shoked likle hell, but tried to continue the conversation. I noticed that she wasn´t ok so I told her I had to continue with my work and hung up the phone.

I think I just killed her. neutral

Wow, great thread idea! I have so much to say about this!!! ^__^

Well I never got to officially come out to my parents. My brother knew and he ******** blabbed!!! I'm over it though. rolleyes

They are not ok with it though. They are strict religious nuts, and being Catholic makes it worse. I can't even invite my friends over because they are scared I'll jump them or something. Hello?! I'm sure they'd put up a fight because the only ones I bring over are straight. If I tried anything, my parents would surely hear lots of screaming and bumping coming from my room. I'm a bit scared to bring over my bi friend because she has a bit of a history of making out at sleepovers and it might get awkward and I don't want to lose her.

Anyways, back on track. My friends are all fine with it, even my straight ones. As long as I don't come on to them, they couldn't care less!

Before I came out, there'd be something about gay marriage or something on tv and my dad would start shaking his head and saying it was sick. I'm the type of person who has to speak their mind, so 9 out of 10 times, we'd end up arguing about it. I guess those moments hinted to him that I was bi but he was in denial.

Well, they still feel the same way about it. I know if my significant other turns out to be a girl I'l never tell my parents. I'd probably just introduce her as a friend and let them think what they want.

The only one's who know in my family are my Dad and sister. My Mom knew it as well (but she died last year). I don't plan to tell others in the family because I'm not sure how they would react (my parents and sister are ok with it).

All my friends are fine and accepting.

Well the first to know was my friends, some of them where a little chocked in some sek, but it was never a problem wink
My parents on the other hand I spent a hour or two with explaining it, before they where fine with it...
My parents where totally fine with it both before and after, and have support me really much and also supported gay-marriage the last years. My sister couldn't care less, she loves me no matter what biggrin

My grandparents... is a different matter...
So I guess the day when I tell them is the day when i get a girlfriend xp

Oh, btw gay-couples can now marry in Sweden so get over here! I wanna go on a gay-marriage! ^^

I flat out told my mom, and I have heavily hinted to my dad, but he is oblivious so probably does not know. Both my parents are fine with gayness, they are all for gay mirage and are working to make it legal in CA. My friends know, we are a pretty cuddly group so no one really cares. My grandpa is homophobic, which sucks cause I have to lie to him. My sister found out through Facebook (I for got that I had not told her). Most of my relatives dont know and will never know. I just realized that I never told my grandma (oops).

hahahahahaha!
My parents don't know I'm bi lol
Only my friends and bf know I'm bi xd
PostPosted: Wed Oct 07, 2009 5:32 pm


Well I told my grandma I was bi... then she started to make fun of me cause of it so I just told her it was a joke.. and I am not that way.

I dont really care what they think but having them make fun of me hurts. So they will just not know ever.

And I cant tell most of my friends because they are mormon and they judge people easily

Have you told you parents? Yes.
If so, how do they feel about it? They don't agree, they think it's a phase. However, we're making progress and they're starting to ACCEPT it, regardless if they agree with it or not.
How do you friends feel? My friends don't particularly care, as long as I'm not hitting on them.
What was your parents opinion about gay/bi/etc... before you came out? Well, this is how the conversation went;
Me > Mom, if you had your huge family of 12 kids or so, an done came to you and said s/he was gay.. What would you do?
Mom > I would love them regardless. I would not disown that child for it.
[three years pass, I come out]
Mom > Uh, you're going into counseling to see if we can't find out what's wrong with you.
Me > There's nothing WRONG with me!
What was it after? She still thinks it's wrong and that I need my head examined, but she's accepting me for me... All she cares about is getting her grandchild.

That's partially a load of crap. 90% of my friends in BC were Mormon. My parents are Mormon. Yes, some have their asses so far shoved up their asses they can't see... But Mormons will accept you for you, if they really are your friends, they won't let their religion get in the way. So, don't blame the fact that you're too scared to come out to your friends on THEIR religion. That's your own fault.

yay for uber long posts. n_n notrly.

i seriously JUST told my parents likeeeee within the last two days. it's wednesday, i told them monday.

i finally had the courage to tell my mom just randomly on the drive to school, so i was all "*siiiiiigh* mom i'm gay."
"again?"
">_> last time i said i was bisexual. there's a difference."
"oh. /right/. so. you wanna have sex with girls?"
"((((AWKWARD QUESTION)))) ...yeah."
".../how/?"
"you don't know how girls have sex?"
lalalalalalalalalalalalalallalalala
"oh. well. that doesn't sound very exciting to me."
"..."

i think she is going to tease me ;-; she is extremely skeptical about it and the entire conversation she had a bitter tone. it is going to hurt if she calls me a dyke ><

but with my dad it was way better. i can't really quote that 'cause he didn't say a whole lot that stuck out, but i told him when i got home from school that day. he not only gave me advice, but towards the middle of the conv we were actually able to comment on girls together. O_O he is officially the coolest dad ever.

i'm not open about it with all my friends, but now that i've told my parents i guess i will be...when i get around to it.... some of them know, and they're pretty supportive. i've always been a huggy person towards both girls and boys, which gets frustrating sometimes because when i DO like someone they don't take it the right way. rawr@subtle flirting. but i shouldn't be dating yet anyway, as much as i want it. i don't really think freshman year is the best time to start a relationship ;-; instead i'm just trying to improve my "gaydar" as well as set up tons of friendships, like the basis for an awesome skyscraper. i can add floors starting in sophomore year.

i don't like the girls that automatically think i like them once i've told them i'm gay -_- all of my crushes are controlled. i recently called them this because i used to deny having a crush on someone, but then they still showed up in my dreams and i couldn't. so instead i just say i won't act on them.

much.
