This happened a few of years back when I was really confused and I just thought Id finally say something about it. When I was younger I was really confused and decided to search up pictures of gays (nothing inappropriate! Safe search on ). Anyways, what happened was my father waked in and I quickly closed it but the computer froze for a second. He ended up kicking me out of the room and apparently went through the history. My mum ended up coming home during this time (I was just sitting on the couch in the lounge room shaking) and she asked what was wrong. My father called her to my room and showed her what Id been searching. My mother then goest to her room and my father calls me back to the computer. He asked what was "this" and I just sat there, silent. A while later, he askes what was making me search this. (Im pretty good with making up believeable stories that I also take on previous information that I have told people(yes not a particularly good skill to have)). I ended up telling him (after two minutes of stuttering on it from being scared) that it was from bullying. He walks out of the room and shouts at me to stay there and not touch the computer (like hell i would now anyway). A while later, yet again, my mum comes in crying. She just sits there woth me crying for ages and im just like... Help me somebody! Anyway to cut this story off they asked me the next day if I wanted to stay home and Im like Im fine with going to school (just wanted to get away). They ended up going up to the school and talking to the principle and other teachers about people bullying me. Like every day after that day for the rest of my time at that school (around 2 years) she would ask if anyone annoyed me that day. Every day I said no. Although Iv been somewhat bullied Iv not really cared about it as the people that did it didnt matter to me. My parents reaction just made me so scared and now I dont think that I could ever come out to them. ---------- Post added 8th Apr 2013 at 08:24 PM ---------- Sorry, what I thought would be one paragraph ended up a whole lot longer.
Good cover! Sorry it's crushed your hopes of coming out though, recently my mums partner said some really homophobic comments so I doubt I'll come out to family for a while.
When I was about 15 I forgot to erase the history in the browser of our main computer and my mom had seen what I had been searching for. It wasnt with safe search either lol. She ended up asking me about it and I was told it is sick and disgusting and to never look at it again. Later while we were out on a drive she brought it up and I said I was looking it up to see if I did like it, seeing as my brother always called me gay almost daily, but I said I didn't and not to worry about it. Makes saying otherwise quite a pain lol. Getting caught looking at stuff sucks lol.
Haha. If it happened now I probably would have just said it, but I was too shy back then and really not ready to come out.
OMG the same thing happened to me. Looking at gay porn, my parents found the browsing history and I was about 14-15. Came to talk to me about it and said it's bad and asked whether I liked it. Of course I said I didn't know (as I really didn't know I was gay, I knew I liked it of course). They said probably I am just curious and things. They told me not to look at it again. I did though, and they caught me again with the browsing history. And then again. Then, multiple times we were driving with my mom, she would tell me that if I am gay it is fine, I am still her son, etc. I wasn't able to say the words though. Just recently, at age 21, 6 years later, my mom asked me finally: Is there any chance you like boys? She made it so much easier for me to come out, I just had to say yes, which I did She said she loved me.
