It has just been brought to my attention that my mom is one of the most understanding people in the universe.
I came out to her, and the situation was less than glamorous, but yay!
We were sitting on the couch watching Law & Order (still watching it), and I was on my computer. I logged in here, and in a surge of courage, I told my mom that I wanted to show her something.
It felt like an eternity, but I think she only really stared at the screen for a minute or so. Then she turned to me and asked, "so... are you gay?" really quietly. At that point it could have gone either way. I nodded my head.
My mom hugged me, and told me that she loved me, and she would be a good mother towards me no matter what.
And as a Christian mother, she told me that God loved me.
The whole event makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside- my mom is probably the closest family member I have excluding my youngest older brother.
The only thing that's scaring me a bit is the fact that she's going to tell my dad. They don't keep secrets with each other, and when there's something up with one of the kids, it's all the more important to be honest. I would prefer to tell him myself, but my dad and I don't tend to have emotional conversations, so I wouldn't know when to start.
But what I'm really thrilled about is that my mom asked me if she could tell my dad. I mean, she actually asked me if she could divulge information to her husband! Which is just amazingly kind of her. She didn't have to ask me, and she did.
So in conclusion, my mother is AWESOME!
