For me coming out seemed very casual. Just like a typical converstaion over tea. I had just got home from work and started talking to my mother. The conversation led to relationships and babies and I mentioned how I was not having kids of my own. My mother told me that we can never say never as we don't know what may be ahead of us. To which I just replied with "Well I know I am never having biological children." She didn't seem to understand and asked me what I meant. "Well I am never going to have kids of my own." Why not? Just because you are no longer with *insert ex name here* does not mean you will never have kids" "Well I am gay. And I do not believe in surrogacy." And that was how I came out. Very casual and my mother just continued with the conversation as we were. She just told me that she does not care who/what I am. If I am happy then so is she.
