I've been thinking about telling my mom that I'm lesbian for a while now. She seems very "for" gay rights--she always mutes the viewers-opinions segment of our news station because she says, and I quote, "It's just a buncha homophobic morons who think that gays are out to get them--can't people just leave them be? They're people!" ... And she is VERY liberal when it comes to things like this. She's just fine with homosexuality. I just don't know if she'll be fine with her DAUGHTER being homosexual... Also... I'm thinking abou telling my mom's best friend, who is like a second mom or older sister to me. She is SO into gay rights--she said she's had about twelve gay friends in the past, and she spends half her time hooking them up with guys. I don't know if she has had any lesbian friends, though. So my question is... Do you think I should tell them? I'm just not sure...
Hi! I think it is a pretty safe to tell them. Why don't you come out to your mom's best friend first and then to your mom as you're a bit unsure as to whether your mom will be fine. You could ask your mom's best friend for support if you feel that you need it. But I do think they'll be fine. Good Luck! Let us know how it went. Hope this helps!
I think that they will be ok with it. I'm saying this because I actually know these people in real life. Your mom's best friend is awesome, and if she loves me, she will definetely love you. And I know your mom will be ok with it. But if you aren't fully ready, don't push it. Maybe just tell one and not the other. Like me, I'm ready to tell my mom, not my dad. Love ya Mesk <3 PS: Your moms best friend needs to hook a boy up...:lol:
thanks, guys...I think i might tell my mom's friend soon...I think she'll be fine with it, and I think it might go over pretty smoothly. My only concern is that they'll be confused/suspicious because i had a boyfriend last year and they might think, "But...I thought you were straight...?" But hey, I was unsure then, and I can just tell them that, right? *crosses fingers* Okay, now I'm waiting for the opportune moment--see you on the coming-out-stories forum!
I don't think either of them will have a problem with it. So whenever you feel ready just tell them--you'll be happy that you did! Good Luck and Best Wishes, mojoe
I totally wish I had your courage. I have been thinking about telling a role model of mine that I am bi but its very hard. Her best friend is gay but its still a challenge for me. But i think its a good idea and i think both will be very accepting!! Good luck!
