Whoo! I finally told my Mother that I'm gay! Her reaction was great, I could not have asked for a better one! When I told her, all she did was smile and give me a hug. She then asked me when I am going to tell Dad (Which will be when I have my own place. I don't want to tell him when I'm still living with that homophobe. ._.). She told me that she was happy that I finally opened up to her enough to tell her. I cannot ever, ever, asked for a better reaction than that.
Congrats! Another support person! Been there with mom knowing and waiting to tell dad. It can be torture for her (depending if they're married and have a strong relationship), but you'll when it's time (if it's time).
