    Before you do, think of what could possible happen after telling her. Find out how she feels about lgbt's. Don't do it if you know she isn't ok with lgbt's. I had a really bad experience when I tried to come out to my mom. But that is just me, it goes well for a lot of people. If you know she if genuinely accepting then go for it :slight_smile:.
    How to tell her. You should just tell her that you have something you need to tell her then when she asks you what you need to say just say I'm gay etc. I hope it works out great for you, good luck :slight_smile:

    I'm of the opinion that there is really no right or wrong way to do it. People are generally going to react good or bad independently of how you tell them. I chose to write my parents a letter, which many people have chose to do and it worked out just peachy for them. My mother was rather pissed at me for not telling her face, but she was rather pissed about the whole thing in general. Only you can decide when and how you are comfortable coming out to anyone.

    hey bruh... im out to only 4 people too...

    my mom is a very religious woman and being an only child i dont think i could ever tell her...
    my dad passed away last year so yeah dont really want to loose her too...

    but again, everyone is different your mom might be cool with it and all... but yeah you might need to assess the situation first and what she thinks about it and then take action

    Good Luck Man, if you do ... let us know how it goes coz im sure there are others who feel the same way...
