Awkward situations when your in the closet

[Riverrick]

My sister: why did Carl tell you he was gay before he told us

Me: Because you were such a fucking cunt to me after I came out, badmouthed me in front of him while he was growing up and maybe since he never really liked you much anyway, he felt he could come out to me first.

My sister: You think maybe that made him feel bad?

Me: You're not the smartest cunt in the world, are you?

Still not getting along with your sister, are you?

 

[Soilwork]

Oh, that was like 7 years ago just after he came out.

we get along just fine now.

OK, here's mine. Its not pretty.

Christmas Past

Me: Well, I think I'll be going back home now.
My Sister: What? Are you crazy? Its raining so hard out there you'll get in an accident.
Me: Oh, I just kinda need to get home. (real reason: my bf!)
My Sister: Why? Do you have a hot date or something?
Me: Something like that.
My Mother: That better not mean what I think it means!!!
Me (shaking): Well maybe it does!
My Mother (now screaming and crying): Oh, that's just great. How could you do this to me? What's going to happen to me next? Is your other sister going to marry a black man?

So I left and drove home in the pouring rain for 2 hours crying and furious.

Epilogue: My other sister to whom she was referring came out 10 years later as a lesbian. Ahh, karma is sooo sweet!

actually, I go to "straight" biker meets all the time and hear what straight people really think (please don't say just "people." gay people ARE people too.)

What you closeted guys will never experience is being able to look at guys who just told a gay joke and see their expressions after you say "dude... I'm gay.. you did know that right?"

ME: I'm have something to tell everyone; I'm Gay
BROTHER 1: No shit.
BROTHER 2: Well duh!
SISTER: We've known that since you were three.
DAD: Richard Nixon was the greatest president this country has ever known.
MOTHER: Johnny Mathis is gay, I just love him!
ME: sigh......


Sometimes you just can't win.

Lol that just made me giggle. it was funny. Sorry if it wasnt suppose to come out that type of way.

As for your situation, well I cant really talk, but its an interesting post. I've only come out to close people such as my friends and my brother who is gay too. Which is weird but cool, cause we have so much of a closer connection now for being honest and true to ourselves. Take it easy and slow, I was in a wreak when I wanted to tell a few people, and I've almost on a f ew times slipped out with the fact that I AM GAY to my folks, which I;ve now learnt to bite my tounge a little, cause I;m simply not ready to tell them yet. Who knows they prolly already know. But yeah its about timing and when your comfy. Its not as easy as it seems, but eventually you'll get there with them. I told my brother cause I felt it was time too and have so much of a better connection with him. As for my parents just wait n see now the song and dance act their gonna give me when I tell them Im gay when they already have a gay son (*U*) ...

But good luck with the things you do though . All the best.

 

[Soilwork]

Yes .... I know Soilwork. Deep down I know you are right .... I shouldn't be in the closet !!!!! I really appreciate your straightforwardness in your posts.

Well, Maybe I was a BIT hard on you there.

You come out on your own timetable.

But You'll be surprised at how people will really change their opinions when suddenly "gay" also means one of their friends.

Once there was something about homosexuality on a TV show

My mom was like: If my son was to be gay, I'd fund him for a gender-reassignment surgery.

I sank into the couch and cried.

 

[Soilwork]

No need to cry, Tiny... parents say some of the stupidest things, even when they think they're being supportive.

your mother may be one of the people who honestly believe that gay men want to be women, and she was saying "If that's what my son wants, I'd do anything to get it for him."








(Or, she might be a miserable bitch... what do I know?)

Whew! You got me worried there for a second!

 

[Soilwork]

Sometimes I wonder whether what some people say about gays is really what they think, or whether they are saying it because they think it is what people want to hear. I know that was the case with me in my youth ..... ie gay jokes to be part of the group ....

OH of course.

The three worst bullies I had in high school were all guys that I'd shagged.

I too was a bit homophobic in middle school and early in high school.

But nothing counts if you did it before 18. Once you become and adult, you get a clean slate.

oooo These types of situations are the worst.
My mum always talks about marriage and having a girflfriend to me whenever we are chatting. A few times i have no idea how to respond to her.
Another of her habit is to always trying to read/listen to whatever things i type to my friends on e-mails or on the phone. This makes me awkward whenever i'm chatting online with my gay friends who sometimes bring up all the unappropriate stuffs. urgh!!!!

This happened in July 2005 and my second cousins are devout Catholics, I didn't argue because of this rule I have not to talk politics or religion to anyone under 13, in this case, telling the difference between incest and homosexuality. I was surprised that they didn't ask if I was gay.

Educating pre-teens about the difference between incest and just being gay has nothing to do with politics or religion. It's simply clarifying the definition of two words that some ignorant people seem to often merge together.
