Why you should never get drunk.

[pirateninja]

As people may know, I am fond of alcohol. And last night, at a meal with various members of my dad's side of the family, I got poured glass after glass of a fine dry white wine, which I must say loosened my tongue so to speak. According to my dad, I started going on about famous gay and lesbian people, saying "I should know" if someone doubted me. Apparently, that was covered up by "She knows because she goes to a good school".

It was close, so very close. Part of me wishes that I'd been even drunker, and just said "No chance, I'm gay" when my nan asked if I had "a feller" yet. But then I'd have a bigger hangover than I do now.

Still, apparently, it is "in question" as I overheard them talking afterwards, so my current headache may not be entirely in vain.

Mom and Dad both know.

Mom's ok with it, and her boyfriend knows too and is ok with it.

Dad's uncomfortable with it, and has once stated that he "is worried" about his parents' reactions. Maybe it is for the best that they don't know yet. They do have some very conservative veiws.

That could either turn out to be very funny or incredibly scary. She's a very fussy woman. :roflmao:

Ahh yes, drinking has a funny way of loosening tongues. I know the very few times I've been drunk I've had the urge to say things I normally wouldn't and sometimes I do.

I guess at least you are "in question." That's at least a step in the right direction. Maybe it will just be a tacit understanding between you and your family members. Just something that's understood and not spoken about.

I think I fall under that category too with my family. At least if I'm not "in question" then my family is incredibly dense. I'm 22 and I've never dated a boy, don't talk about boys, and I don't do dresses and make up. In fact you're lucky if you can get me into anything other than a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. Even my 5 year old brother commented that one of my shirts somehow indicates I like girls. (I don't think he really understood what he was talking about, but it sure was hilarious to see the expressions on my parents' faces. One of the best family dinners ever!)

I spilled my guts out to a friend sober cabbing for me about a guy I had a massive crush on when she was driving me home from a party. Capt. Morgan is a great start to any therapy session.

Ahhh. Close, close. Were you sort of wanting to come out? (sometimes I get this, when you feel like if you could just get drunk and tell everyone and get it all over with...)

This is a lesson to us all !! (and, incidentally, why I have *never* drunk in front of my parents or any family - never a glass of wine, or whatever - for even my teenage self in denial kind of knew she was in denial...)

And again, as already said, at least "in question" is somewhere along the way to some sort of acceptance hopefully...
