so when you come out to anyone (friends, parents, other people of importance) there's always gonna be some sort of change in their view towards the gay community. they either feel scorned thinking that they lost someone to the clutches of gays and their contageous lifestyel, or they accept gays more, or something on the lines of that.
so now i wanna ask you guys: how have the opinions of those you've come out to changed in regards to gays now that they know that you're gay? like, parents, friends, etc. do they act different and if so, how?
i know that my mom is less vocal about how much she can't stand the grossness of being a lesbian =P
and my dad used to say that gays are so weird that they deserve their own bathrooms; like, they can't pee next to him. but now he's pretty cool with gay guys and with lesbians. i guess this was a change for the better, like in wife swaps. haha.

I'm not completely out yet, my close friends, parents, my younger sister and my most of my gay friends know I'm a lesbian but other than that I'm still in the closet.
I don't really think their opinion about gay people changed the moment I told them, maybe that was because most of them already knew someone that was gay before I told them I was...
But so far I've only had positive reactions and people accepting me the way I am.
Maybe those who didn't knew gay people are now more gayfriendly, I don't know, they already were pretty open-minded before...
Even my grand-mother (who I haven't told yet, but of who I'm sure she knows) told me like, oh that person her granddaughter is a lesbian and she's such a nice girl and such and then says to me sentences like: "we accept you just the way you are" (and then me in my mind: "wtf she knows, how can she know it"?!)
They all are already pretty open towards gay people and accepting them. I have some homophobe friends as well, maybe if I told them I would get other reactions but oh well, worries for later...
