It's Sunday, it's mother's day, and I just had 'the big gay talk' with mum :)

So it finally happened today. I'd been planning to talk to my mum about my sexuality for a while (wasn't intending to do it on mother's day though!) and today we were spending time together and talking and the conversation sort of wandered in that direction. We had a long talk and she was overall supportive. She did ask me several times if this was 'because of things that have happened making me feel this way' etc but I explained that my attraction to women has been there since I was 6 years old and that I just hadn't realized or accepted it until recently and she seemed to get the point. She talked a lot about her own life experiences and asked me questions about how I would go about meeting a woman if I didn't want to be part of a 'scene' and I told her I didn't have any immediate plans.
She did say at one point 'Wow. We really are having the talk now aren't we? I was wondering when we were going to have this talk.' :lol: So as I expected she had already suspected. The main statement from her was 'it's okay.'
All in all it went very well and I am grateful as ever to have a wonderful mum. Wish everyone could have someone as supportive as this in their lives.

 

Thanks everyone

The exact date varies but my understanding is it's held on the fourth Sunday of lent here.
