    Well i told my mum that i was gay she acted as if she was ok with it and then about a day after she started avoiding me and shouting saying that it wasn't normal, i just went upstairs and left it alone. I wont tell my dad until i have to, now she avoids me and has barley any contact with me.

    Maybe she's a little shocked, possibly scared. People tend to fear things that they don't understand, like rock 'n' roll and other things... I don't know, that doesn't really help, but don't give up on your parents is all i'm saying really.

    Just give her time she may have to get over the shock. She should come around after a while. I have yet to tell my parents who are also homophobic, so at least you took that step. No matter what happens, at least you know you were brave enough to tell her. And know that you did the right thing.

    I've never really been close to my mum at all so now it just doesnt bother me, I've decided from previous quotes to give her more time, but if she doesn't come around by the time i'm eighteen then i will probably move out

    Mine too. I can't even come out to my parents yet because of all the consequences that will follow.
