The Coming Out Q&A

The first question from my mom was: are you kidding me and I said no

 

I have not told my Dad. When I came out as questioning to a friend he did a double take and nearly fell over, and now that I am getting answer to my question, he said if was not so far a way he would have given me a hug.

 

That's nice (*hug*)

 

They asked me: How do you know? >.> that's pretty much all they wanted to know lol

 

The only questions I got where "Do you feel like your full on lesbian or just bi?" and "How long have you felt this way?"

 

Eh...it wasn't a full-blown confrontation, it was just a little splat.

 

My parents had no questions. I feel i should be worried --- i dont think its because they arent curious. Im sure they are. But they dont talk to me about anything that matters. Maybe they dont care?

Idk, im just vent-ranting atm. Sorry

 

The first time I came out (Which is when I was identifying when as female, I just came out as bi) my mom just was like "ok" and she sighed. She really didn't ask any questions.

When I came out as trans*, she had borrowed my computer and seen my email that I sent to the college asking to change my nametag. She then wondered what was going on and asked me. I freaked out, started shaking and somehow managed to say that I was trans* in the middle of that. She then just asked me how I knew and if I was sure. Then she tried to calm me down since I had to be to work in 30 minutes.

 

i'm in the same situation and it's really awkward at the same time when your parents don't have questions.

well.. as for me my mom first real question was "QUE?!(it means what in spanish)" , my dad just made statements i guess

so i told yea i'm gay, tried to explain that it wasn't their fault and that i couldn't help but feel for a guy rather then a woman. i guess i'll have to wait for the "questions" whenever they feel ready.

 

My mom asked questions like:
- Are you sure?
- How do you know?
- For how long did you know?
- Did you get abused as a child?
- Did I do any mistakes (in rising you)?
- Are you aware that AIDS is still a dangerous disease?
- Do you have a boyfriend?
etc.

The full load so to say. Important is to stay calm and answer all of them in a respectful way.
