I’m new here but thought I’d post my story nevertheless …
Last week, I finally took all my courage and told my mum that I was gay. I’ve known for years but never really dared to tell my family. The first person that I was open to about me being gay was a good friend of mine that I knew I could trust although I really only had got to know her about a year ago. She accepted it totally well and I was so happy there was someone I could talk to besides the guys from GayRomeo. I don’t know if that site is very popular in the States …
Anyway, after having come out to some of my closest friends who are all girls btw, I thought I should tell my mum the truth. I was slowly getting sick of all those questions about when I would finally have girlfriend and whatsoever. I didn’t exactly know when I should talk to her about it, so I just went down to her room and said that I had to tell her why I didn’t have a girlfriend like all the others. So, I came out to her. I think she believed for a while that I was joking but I told her that I was absolutely serious. And of course she also said that I was just going through a phase (Yeahhh, a phase … which has been going on for I don’t even know how long … 5 years?)
On Monday, when I was about to leave for the cinema to see The Princess and the Frog with some of my friends, I also came out to my sister who asked why I didn’t go to the cinema with my girlfriend. I said “Well, maybe you can think your part”. She was like “No, I can’t … unless you’re gay” which I answered to “Perhaps I am”. Then she said something along the lines “Well, are you?” and I was like already laughing so hard because I was just so happy and just said “Yep.” “Are you kidding me?” “No.” “Do you have a boyfriend then?” “Who knows.”
And then after I came back from the movies and made myself ready for bed, my mum came up to my room and said she had told my dad and that he was a bit sad but accepted it … I haven’t really talked to him about it yet. I normally don’t talk to my dad that much, just a few sentences a day probs.
So, there’s only my brother left … who will get to know sooner or later … but I feel so relieved now that my mum knows! And whenever someone asks me if I am gay I don’t hide and just say “Yeah.” It’s such a good feeling.
It was actually really surprising to hear that my mum didn't really think I was gay because I always thought my behaviour was kinda gay. But apparently I was wrong
Well, anyway thanks for reading this … I know it’s a lot!

Funny how that works, yeah? Don't want them, get surrounded by them...
