It's About Time...

[Jeimuzu]

Thanks everyone...and yes, my mother was the first person I ever told. That same day I got up the courage to tell my dad. He reacted in a similar way...he told me that he'd love and support me no matter what...and that he wants me to be happy more than anything else.

It's been such a relief to come out to them. To this day they are the only two people who know...and they've known for a few months. Hopefully I'll get up the courage to tell my friends someday.

Well, it's gone well so far, and no matter what happens, you'll always have your family. I find friends to be the best about it, because nowadays homosexuality is not much of a taboo. When your parents were born, it was still one of those things regarded with a little disgust. You're lucky, your parents have taken it well, you're almost out of the woods now.

"You have no reason to be scared. I am your mother. I love you. And I'll always love you...no matter what."

I am crying for real!

I dread the day that I finally come out to my mother. This is the same mother that would always ask me in middle school if I was a "fag" or not. I guess she needed to know because she and the man that she was shacked up with for the week were gonna pray for me or something.

I do, however, have the best friends in the world and the ones that I have told are extremely supportive.

I wish you the best. Cherish your parents because they truly are wonderful people.

Shucks. I also started cryin'.

My Mom died 3 years ago. I came out to Dad last February. He said, "We always wondered." Honestly, Dad's in his own little world. I doubt it ever occurred to him w/o Mom suggesting it.

I'm jealous of you, Strata. I wish my Mom could have known who I am for certain before she died.

Strataboy19, mate that was so fucking touching. I wish I could do that with my own mum. I just wish I had the balls like you did. I wish my mother could confront me the way your mother did. That was beautiful.. I had a lump in my throat when I read over it and your mums reaction was just beautiful. Cherish every bit of her because she is such a beautiful person. God I love these type of topics. They make my day. Glad you got it over and done with it makes me feel happy when other peoples come outs go so well <3 congrats buddy.
