Okay, so I was watching this YouTube series called "Out with Dad" and I started to think about what it would finally be like when I told my parents that I was gay, and this heaviness came over me. I got shaky, and my head started spinning. Then I watched this video that another member had posted about the importance of marriage equality and I just couldn't take it anymore. Anyway my mom came in and saw me crying and she asked what was wrong. After about 20 minutes of me just sitting there thinking "I an't say it, I can't say it, I can't say it." She asked me if I would tell her when she counted to three, she tried that several time, and at the third of fourt tie I couldn't take it anymore, so Ifinally just said "I'm Gay." She didn't go bat-shit crazy on me, but she was shocked, so her first reaction was to say "No yo're not." We talked about it for a while,a dn then we decided it was important that I tell my Dad, I told her I wasn't ready and she said it was okay but that I had to eventually learn to love and accept myself for who I am, because she always would. I FINALLY CAME OUT TO MY MOM! (!)(&&&), I'm too happy and excited right now, I finally did it, and I feel like this massive weight has been lifted off my shoulders. It's beautiful. I'M GAY! AND I AM PROUD! (*hug*)
That's great that she reacted so positively =) Can you imagine what her reaction would be if you'd said that you wanted to marry a princess? I think most parents would be confounded. :lol: "But honey, where would you meet one?" Major props to you, in all seriousness.
Mom: "That's wonderful, sweetie! You know I'll always love you, but I hope she's rich!" (!) :lol: I'm probably forever tarnishing your image of your mom in your mind. Except not really.
Hahaha, "except not really..." Now just for figuring out how to tell my dad...and the rest of my family...here comes the anxiety again.
No, she just said it was necessary. Coming out to my dad is the boulder standing in the way of my life right now.
