I know my 'out status' says that I'm out but I wasn't until today.

My Dad went to China and back by car so it took him about 2 months.
While he was away, I broke up with my girlfriend and came out to everyone... except him, I couldn't tell him over the phone or send him an e-mail, I had to tell him in person.

When he was in Kazakhstan, he called me and told me he'll bring me back a blue hat (If you've seen Borat, you'll understand :icon_wink "Homosexuals no longer haf a wear bloo het"), so I laughed and said ok.

He came back yesterday and that this morning I went downstairs, he showed me the hat and I was like :
- "Thanks ! Oh and I have to tell you, I broke up with A. and, I like guys..."
- "Thats fine with me as long as your happy."

I think he still needs to talk with my Mom about it since she already know and has accepted it.
But I'm so happy !!!
My Mom was very nervous, for days, she did not know how he would react because he sometimes speaks before he thinks, like any Frenchman.
She didn't want me to tell him without her in the house in case it didn't turn out ok, she even said if he kicked me out of the house, we'd find a place together until things settle down.

He said that the fact we thought he could have reacted badly disappointed him.
"Don't you guys know me already?"

Anyway, things have turned out GREAT and I'm extremely HAPPY !!!! (!)(!)(!)

EDIT: w00t 100th post !!!

That's so awesome! I know we all worry about how our parent's will react (me included!) but I'm sure that most of the time they'll be more accepting than expected. I certainly hope that will be the case for me. I think the time is coming soon...

Thats great, I don't know about anyone else but it was easier for me to come out to my mom than my dad and my dad did take it harder than her to begin with, but to hear when somebody takes it so well is really uplifting.
