    I came out to my mom (she told my dad), i said hi. She said hi. *awkward silence for ten minutes* said hi again. *takes fifteen minutes to work up the courage* (does this three times). Finally tells her I like a guy. She was very supportive and proceeded to tell me she always knew (hear that all the time lolz). She told my dad and he came into my room. *braces for impact* then he has the same reaction as my mom (I swear like the same words lol). :slight_smile:

    YAY! Accepting parents are the best parents. My parents had a similar reaction, but it took a while for my dad to come around. Congrats on coming out to them, thats a big, brave step into an uncloseted, sadly less-fashionable (speaking as if you were literally in a closet) world. Stay positive dude, great things are coming! :grin:

    Great to read. That's how parents should be. Hope you feel so much better for telling them.
