Did you ever tell your mom you're Gay?

[jamie_01930]

In My Case, I Told My Mother Just After My Divorce. She Was Asking If There Was Anything That Could Change My Mind.

When I Told Her And Gave Examples Of Others In The Family That Were Gay. She Sort Of Understood But Deep Down I Don't Think She Really Understood. At The Time She Was In Her Late 80's

Both my mom and dad died without knowing I'm gay. I really feel bad about not giving them an opportunity to know the real me.

My coming out to my family was the subject of a JUB thread, so, yes, she knows.

Unfortunately, it took me 40+ years to admit it to myself.

Even though she & my father knew/suspected all along.

No,she died before I grew enough to tell her.

At first I thought you meant your mother reads JUB!

I pussied out and told her in a letter when I was 17. She responded in a letter and told me that she already knew and it made no difference to her. I've always been very uncomfortable talking about personal issues with my family and I've always felt like I came out to her before I was really ready. We've never actually mentioned it since then. It's just an unspoken fact. I've never been in any kind of relationship and have never even kissed anyone of either sex, so me being gay has always been a bit of a non-issue. I'm not uncomfortable being gay in the least...in fact, most of the time, it's the only thing about myself that I consider normal and don't want to change. I just never really developed the ability to open up about my emotions to my family.

Who did you think Mrs.Campbell was?!

 

[PiraDeSilva]

Yeah, and not too long ago either. We had an awkward conversation which, amongst other things, explained the one time I was fixing her computer and found lesbian porn in her history.

Needless to say, she's stopped bothering me about meeting a nice girl and giving her grandchildren. Now she bugs me about meeting a nice guy and adopting to give her grandchildren.

Nope not yet i will when i graduate college and live on my own

She thinks I'm dating one of my good friends

My parents died in a car crash when I was two, so I never had that chance.

Coming out to my uncle and his boyfriend was pretty easy though.

 

[kinski]

I've never told her, I just don't think it's an important fact. I live in a very liberal society where people who dislike gay people are frowned upon, so I don't think it really matters, I won't get any hate. If/when I get myself a boyfriend, I won't hide it from anyone. I just feel like telling people I'm gay is like telling people I'm male, or dark haired, it's such an obvious part of me that I don't think it's worth talking about.

 

[BeMused]

Yea I told her, and my father. I think that's the sort of thing to inform your parents of.
