I think my parents know...

I think they do, but I still don't want to out and out tell them yet.

Here's what happened. Me, two of my brothers, and my parents were watching American Idol. A commercial came on for the stupid Fox show that comes on after it...uhh, what's it called? The Moment of Truth, had to go look it up.

Anyway, we were joking around about it, asking each other stupid questions. My youngest brother said "are you gay?", but I was in the bathroom so he started making fun of my other brother, even though I heard the question. Went back to the living room, then my dad asks "Have you ever looked at a guy's ass and thought 'not bad'", and I jokingly said "WELL, HE HAD LONG HAIR!". Everyone laughed, and we started making fun of my youngest brother. Then, my mother asks my dad some stupid question, and he answers and says "no one can hold anything against me if I do say anything, I'll just pay them money while asking for forgiveness".

I feel like I'm rambling...anyway, so he said he would come up to me and, after possibly offending me on the show, give me some money and a trip to Florida. I said I'd be fine with that, and then he said "of course, it would be during gay week!"

It's just weird, usually he doesn't joke like that. Don't get me wrong, he jokes a lot, but not about that. Not to mention, I'm not too close with my dad, but it was just weird. Based on that, what's everyone think? Was he goofing and took the
 
That doesn't sound like a big deal tome. Chances are you are over-reacting.

My experience has been that even with a rediculousely oblivious family, they will still ask blunt quesions after a while (i have had one girlfriend in basically 6 years and it was only for a about 2 weeks . . . . However, they asked me if i liked girls and I said yes, because I do depending on their personality. They need to ask the right question and maybe they will get a completly straight {well half-strraight :P} answer).
 
My experience is that parents know. my parents new for a long time before I came out to them & they excepted the fact that I am gay .
 
If you think you're parents know they do. If they haven't said anything yet, they're probably okay with it.
 
I think all parents know...they just push it to the back of their head...we don't all have parents like Deb (from Queer As Folk), but most parents are more accepting than you think.
 
No, they're not just joking.

Did they ask if anyone else was gay? No.

Well there's your answer. They know.

So good for you! Now you know they'll be OK with it, when you get the courage to tell them. But tell them when you're ready. Hopefully soon.
 
I think they were joking around.

They probably don't even suspect it.
 
When your brother asked "are you gay", he could have been asking your other brother, or anyone else for that matter if you were not in the room and couldn't see whom he was looking at
 
It seems to be not a lone decision. If everyone knows, hints, but never asks directly -- well, maybe they are happy keeping it that way without direct conversation.

Respect that.
 
it seems more likely that he was joking around, it's happend to me a few times with my mum. i totally agree it's so weird! i actually almost crapped myself the first time it happend!! :eek: still, weather or not he was joking i think it would be best to waite untill you're ready to tell them. it's true what otehr people have said, parents are much more understanding than we think most of the time. having said that, i'm not taking any chances with my catholic ones!! ;) i'm waiting untill i move out. it will save alot of awkwardness! hehe
 
I havent come out to my parents but from the ton of coming out stories I've read, most of the time parents already know (especially if you suspect they do). They probably are waiting for you to be ready to come out on your terms. But your father could've gotten a little excited since the topic of homosexuality was already brought up and thought he could use the excuse to see if that would make it easier for you (you answering you were gay instead of having to say it).

I've come out to a couple of friends and it's been really hard for me to say. I haven't outright told any of them I'm gay, I make them suspect it and then answer "yes." So they're probably trying to make it easier for you if they really do suspect it.
 
^ Bingo! What Providence said.

Everyone else here is in D E N I A L, big time.
