how could i convince people im gay

[hoping]

i told my mum im gay a little over a year ago but she wouldnt believe me and the first person outside my family i told he was great about it but he seemed shocked. i think the fact that im very str8 acting seems to make my mum not believe it. so does any one have any ideas on how to get my mum to believe that iam gay

remember that she's going to be in denial for a while, since it's a shock for a parent to learn that their child is homosexual. try to give her some time to sort things out, but be sure not to force the topic. as for getting a boyfriend, yeah that will prove it, but it might just shock her more and she might not react the way you want her to. so be calm, and if she accepts you, then try to not bring up the topic.

that was kinda of a joke...oh, well...

I don't think there's anything you can do if someone insists on being stuck in denial. You just have to live your life as authentically as you can.

Eventually the truth will be undeniable to your Mum & your friend. It may take a while though.

I guess her idea of being gay is the cliche gay queen.
i dont know what to say, other than if she cant accept it then you just gotta leave it for now. if it is really iimportant to you that she understands and you really want to, then perhaps you gonna have to throw it in her face and do some of the things above.

but dont hurt her. she probably just doesn't understand. that is all. she is so used to guiding you through childhood and being the one with all the answers, that you saying that you are gay has just thrown her. the difference between the relative innocence of age 12 and age 18 is only 6 years, and a lot of growing up has been done. give her a bit of space and ease her into the idea in a way that she can accept it.

just get on with it for now.

why do you have to prove anything to anyone?

[hoping]

i dont have to prove anything to anyone i just thought i would give her the oppertunity of knowing who her son is. i guess she will know when i introduce this guy im in love with to her

[downboyup]

i understand how that is important. i hope it goes well when you introduce him. keep us posted.
