This is a topic I find often discussed in the coming out thread, so I thought I would create a topic solely for this topic.
Have you told you parents?
If so, how do they feel about it?
How do you friends feel?
What was your parents opinion about gay/bi/etc... before you came out?
What was it after?
Discuss, give advice, and share stories =]

I told my mom and dad
Mom doesn't care and dad doesn't like it one bit
My friends are ok with it
My mom has a Gay brother so she's ok with it. My dad doesn't like it
Same?
I told my dad I slept over Aida's and Jamie(my girlfriend) was there and he flipped.

I haven't told my family, yet.
I think they'd be fine though.
I actually just blurted it out to my friends yesterday. Didn't even mean to, one minute we were talking the next i found myself saying "I'm bisexual!"
Amazingly, they were completely fine with it. Nothing at all has changed mrgreen
My parents support gays in general.

i'll try not to ramble, haha
Have you told you parents? yup
If so, how do they feel about it? dad has completely accepted it. mom, on the other hand, has trouble saying the words "girlfriend" "gay" and "lesbian" around me and tends to act uncomfortable at times. it's kinda funny, actually
How do you friends feel? psh, they couldn't care less! they embrace me and all my gayness; it's great
What was your parents opinion about gay/bi/etc... before you came out? my mom was always cool with gay GUYS and my dad didn't really like gays in general. we're "dirty and wrong"
What was it after? my dad completely changed! unless he's just fakin to seems supportive, in which case i respect he at least tries. my mom still prefers gay boys over gay girls, but she tries accepting us all

Have you told you parents? for simplicity sake I will only discuss my current step father's opinion. He... I am not sure. He used my sexuality as a weapon against my mom once but mom says he has come around. but he never discusses it and seems to ignore it a lot. My mother on the other had is completely supportive.
How do you friends feel? psh my firends knew before I did and they are all fine with it.
What was your parents opinion about gay/bi/etc... before you came out? mom was always supportive. and my step dad thought it was a sn against the bible and I am pretty sure he still does he just doesn't say anything anymore.

I've just about told everyone I can think of. And the only people who hate me are my parents -_-
It hasn't been very fun since I told them. Apparently now I'm a very "untrustworthy" child.

My friends are all ok with me being bi, but my parents don't know. And I don't think they would like it.

My dads not in my life so it doesnt matter.
My mom has a couple gay friends and is cool with it. But, i think it would be different if her she knew her daughter was gay.
My friends are cool with it.

I'm halfway out to my parents.
They think I'm a lesbian, but I think my mom is starting to get the idea that I'm actually transsexual.
And they know I've dated guys and girls. My dad and I make cheesy jokes, and he treats me more like a guy now...especially when he catches me checking out girls. xD
My mom is trying to adjust to it. She's okay with gay people, as long as it's not her child. Like instead of saying 'do you like her' she says 'is this a person of special interest?'. But she's getting better. It's taken a couple years to get there but hey. :]
My friends know I'm transgendered, as do my sister and brother. For religious reasons I don't think my mom and dad will accept it as easily because of beliefs in past lives and such.
