Can you give us a little more detail? I mean one sentence is kind of hard to go off of. First off, what do you speculate will be your parent's reaction when they hear this. Are they religious, or are they "garage religious?" How do your parents react toward the LGBTQQAIP community as a whole?
I didn't know how my parents would react, I wrote my mom a letter. My dad is kind of religious because he was in AA for a couple of months, but he asked me. Good Luck!!!
My mom isn't that religious. She's 'selectively' religious. She's against gay marriage. She said she thinks all people should be with someone but they shouldn't call it a 'marriage'. We go around and around and around about that, so it might not be a complete shock. I think she'll be in denial and question my orientation because while trying to fight it I had a lot of one night stands. ---------- Post added 10th Jul 2013 at 11:37 PM ---------- With guys, I feel NOTHING except friendship. To me boyfriends were just best friends that hang out with you all the time. I've never felt any pleasure or content with sex with guys. I thought I was just a person that hated sex until I was with women, WOW. My first crush was a girl.
I wrote a letter. I just want to start with I love you dearly even though I can be a bitch sometimes. I know how against this you are so I really just want you to accept me and continue to love me. I tried to hide, fight, and deny it for a long time but I'm just starting to accept myself for who I am. A big part of my depression as a teen was confusion about this which is why I slept around a lot. I was just trying to prove to myself that it couldn't be true. If I was with the right guy then something would click, but it never did. Then I met Nick. I think I loved the idea of love more than any feelings towards him. He gave me freedom and I did love that. I never really felt anything with him or any other guy. This most recent time the lure of freedom and having a family hooked me in. A big part of my depression now is hiding myself. I don't want to hide anymore. It's such a big weight on my shoulders having this secret. Cory has known for about three weeks. Part of me thinks he hasn't said anything to you because you'd talk to me about it but I'm really not sure if he has or not. If he hasn't, that's really showing his love for me. Allison told me he thinks it's cool. He still loves me. It's always been girls. My very first crush was Erin. I messed around with two girls in high school. And then there was Madison. She helped me discover who I am. . We had sex when we were drunk and I started having feelings for her. When I'd go home I felt so sad like I was leaving something behind. She is married so I distanced myself and made sure we'd never mess around again. She wanted to mess around when we went to the beach but we didn't. I can honestly say I don't have any feelings towards men, sexually or romantically. It's just woman for me. I'm a lesbian. That's why I get so upset and we go around and around when we get into the gay marriage debate. There have been so many times I wanted to say "What about me? I'm gay. Should I not be able to have what you and dad have" I never do because I'm scared of what will happen if I do. I don't want to lose your love or for things to change between us. I don't understand how we as Christians can pick and choose what we live by from the bible. I don't think God would hate me for being me when he created me. This isn't a choice for me, I've tried to choose otherwise and it just doesn't work like that, at least not for me.
That...that was just beautiful. To my mind, the only thing that will come off as a little alarming is: It sent a signal to my mind that you may have not known what was going on at the time, because you were inebriated, so you just rolled with it. Your parents might think the same thing also. Other then that, I liked it a profound amount You may want to proofread it though.
my mom wanted to keep it, but mine was something along the lines of. Ive been wanting to tell you my biggest secret for quite a while now. I just didn't know how. You may have already known, at one point you did ask me. Yes it is true I am gay... Then I said like im the same person my thoughts and feelings wont change, I might be a little bit more open minded but that wont be too bad. If you have any questions ask them. You wanted a kid and you got two, one is gay and that shouldn't change anything. When you wanted this kid, you didn't care what was wrong. If it had a heart disease you would take me, if it had a disability you would take it, if it had a penis or a vigina you would take it. Whether it be small or big, it was still yours. That is why it is only fair that you accept that I am gay. Im still your kid, that's not gonna change. You can throw me out and tell everyone you never had a daughter. But at the end of the day im still yours, if I die you have to sign those papers saying that I was your kid and I did live with you. So you can hate me, you can go make me live with my alcoholic dad, or you can just deny that im gay. Im still your gay daughter. Yea she did think I wasn't the one that wrote that and that it was a phase but she gave in so now she supports me.
Okay, so just take that out. I think I need to leave out her name and marital status. Something I'm not proud of btw. Thank you. I will. I just let everything out I didn't really think about what I was writing.
