    Hi guys, just to say that I have decided to come out to my Mum this evening. Bit scared, but looking forward to the after :slight_smile: I will get after. However, I am still not sure how to go about it. She is fairly supportive of gay people, at least I think she is, but can you guys recommend me a way to tell her? ie. would a letter or phone call/text, or just sitting her down and telling her be the best option?

    Thanks in advance for your advice everyone!

    Lots of Love, TheFlog60

    I think just sitting down and telling her would be the best option. Tell her while your eating dinner. Say it very casually. Then, if she has anything she wants to ask, she can ask it with you right there. And you'll be there to comfort her.

    First off, well done for being so brave :grin: I think it would be best if you told her face-to-face-that way she can ask any questions or whatever. Either ask her to sit down with you and have a proper talk, or just mention it casually, as if it dosen't bother you at all. It really depends what kind of talk you want to have with her.

    Good luck! Let us know how it goes :grin:
