Do moms always know?

[KyleWells]

No, its pretty hard to guess when someones bisexual anyways.

Im pretty good at putting on a straight face around my parents though. When Im out with them, I've trained myself not to wander to hot guys with my eyes.

I think they do, usually. The good ones, anyway

All my mother said when she first knew was, "well, I don't understand, but I except it".

Sort of the way I was feeling about it all then, myself...

So I guess the ones who didn't but love their children anyway when they come out to them are the "bad ones," huh?

Give it up to those moms who know and still put down queers and tell their kids that they don't want a queer in their family. They're the good ones, apparently for being so perceptive!

The lesson here folks is that good parents will know everything about their kids: What they're eating, the content of their journal, who they're sleeping with, addresses of all their friends, every piece of clothing they own, where they keep their drugs, who they get their drugs from, and what their favorite sexual position is--all without ever asking or talking about it. They'll "just know." Because they're good parents. Not bad parents like the ones who get caught by surprise. Those are the worst parents.

Let's hope you never get surprised by your kids ever--then you'll see what a piss poor parent you've been.

It's all fun and candy to make little cutesy stereotypes like these, but let's drop the crap when we actually start making judgment calls on people's parenting quality. Plenty of good parents have been surprised by a "normal" acting and straight-feigning son with his "steady girlfriend" or a lipstick lez daughter and plenty of piss poor parents have "known" (usually due to their rigid set of stereotypes and gender-conforming notions of masculinity and femininity) and still let their kids sweat under their vocal disapproval of homosexuality.

Being a good parent isn't anything about knowing before your kid tells you--what counts is how you act once you do.
