Test Run

I was thinking of getting my aunt to like talk about some LGBT issue going on in the city and then say "what if [seeking] was gay?"

So then i would have an idea of how my ma might react.

good idea or bad idea?

thanx for any responses!

 

Well in my aunt's city that i was working in last summer.. a shooter shot a guy because he thought the victim look/was homosexual. So the shooter went up to the guy and was like "Are you a Gay?" I think the shooter might have said F--. The victim ignored the shooter. Then maybe a hour or 2 hours later the shooter crosses path with the victim (could have even been following the victim) and shot the victim.

found story - New York Man Fatally Shot In Alleged Anti-Gay Hate Crime -

So i was gonna have my aunt say "I met this really sweet man at my job around [seekings] age and he wants to be a firefighter, but he is gay....so he is worried about discrimination." Then my ma will say whatever. My aunt will talk about the incident last summer.. and all the discrimination gays might have to deal with. Ma says whatever. After my aunt will say "What if [seeking] was gay, how would you feel about that?"

So what do you think, Nychthemeron? My aunt is a retired firefighter so not so weird she meet a man pursing that career.

I don't know yet if my aunt will help me out but it is a idea to give to my ma.

 

Thank you both, definitely will keep you updated.

I am afraid my aunt will be like well are you sure.. have you been with any woman?

I know you don't need to date someone to truly know your sexuality, but that is a question she may pose to almost be like "are you sure you want to do this?"

(&&&)

 

Yes she was.

Thank you :icon_bigg (*hug*)

 

I think negative/disappointed in the beginning...She is known to have a hot head before she accepts something. But knowing her i feel it will ease into neutral, but idk what she will do until she accepts it. If that makes sense.

 

She does contradict herself about LGBT stuff... so it is kinda hard to tell how she may truly react.

I remember when i started to go to therapy for depression and anxiety. The doctor thought i should try meds. I told my ma and she accused me that i just didn't want to go to college.
Like wt! how does those two things connect? Me going for help trying to resolve my emotional issues is me wanting to succeed. This is all coming from a woman who has a bachelors in psychology.

So that is hot-headed i feel. She will also not allow you explain something and just keep cutting you off.

I would like to fully come out with a letter. But, i would like to know her views on sexuality before i give her the letter just incase she kicks me out. Because i need to be prepared for that possibility meaning i will have to then figure out when to tell her if she is the type to cut me off.

 

Possibly. She does ask me a lot, do you think that guy on tv is cute, you need to date a football player, Do you think that guy is cute (on campus), etc. So she might be doing that because she thinks it is weird that i am not interested in guys, rejecting guys pass, and not even going after guys.

So she might already. But usually if she knows or suspects something she is not afraid to confront you. Say she knows you are say some mean stuff about her behind her back....She will say to you "i guess i am just -whatever you have said to someone else about her-" SO if she knew i was gay, do you think she would do that to me... or the fact she keeps pointing out guys and trying to hook me up a sign that she may already suspect something is odd with my attraction?

 

So you think she already suspects?
