    Well, I'm almost positive (as sure as I'm going to get without falling head-over-heels over another girl) that I'm not straight. Bi or lesbian I don't know, but... not straight. I'm not quite sure if I want to come out to my mum yet (definitely not my dad, but he works a lot anyhow.) but I want to bring up to topic of LGBTQ+ so I can talk to her about it, and say stuff about myself when I feel ready. For the record, she once, a few yers ago, gave me a small talk about being gay when there was a gay guy on TV and said she would be fine if I or any other of her children were gay, she'd just be sad we couldn't have children naturally.

    My question is, what's a good way to bring this up?

    Thanks!

    That is a possibility... I just wish there was something going on in Canada that I could bring up.
