So, at about 6AM I get a call from a number with only 5 digits in the number, I send it straight to voice mail. I get a voice mail a few seconds later, followed by another phone call from he same number, which I sent to voice mail again. At about 8AM, my grandma wakes me up to tell me that after church, we're going to go eat lunch and talk. At the time, I thought this was just going to be a nice lunch... I finally check my voice mail, it's from my brother in Iraq. He just wanted to know how I'm doing (and to see if I was really gay or not). I go over to the home phone and flip through the caller ID--he called the house. My heart sank right then and there.:icon_redf I go in my room, followed by my grandma. She asked me what I was doing looking on the phone. She said that he called and talked to her about me. I'm pretty sure it was about what I think it was. I stopped her in the middle of whatever she was saying and just said "I'll tell you about it when you get back,". So, right now I'm waiting for her to come back from church.... I'll give you guys an update, I guess.
Yeah. I hope everything goes well, too. I hope that if your brother had told your grandma, everything will still be all right.
hmm. I don't personally know your grandmother, but if she's old fasioned (believes in the bible), then you may want to prepare some..lets all them "counter arguments" like "god made me gay". if she isn't like that and is accepting, then you can expect a small, awkward talk and her trying to make you spell it out to her:/ either way, it's going to get worse before it gets better. could you give us the personality of your grandmother?
She's always in a hurry, all the time. Not exactly sure what her opinion on gays are, but she is Catholic and has had a gay nephew before...
oh. sorry anyway, if she did, she'll probably be ok. but she said she'd talk to you, so be prepared for an awkward talk. other than that, she'll be ok. and tell your brother not to do that again. good luck (*hug*)
Okay, the worst part is over. She asked me if I told my sister in law was gay, I said yes. She said she wasn't greatfull, and was shocked. Then she started talking about aids, and I told her that I already learned about that in school. She kept asking me about porn and all that. I'm in the car with her right now, on my iPhone too. I feel a little bad.
I'm a little mad because she kept asking me embarrassing questions...I hated it. She wouldn't drop it.:icon_redf
Tell her straight people can get Aids Too -.-, why does everyone think only gay people get aids? -.-'
Remember she's your grandmother, it's like telling her you're from Venus. Everything she has said to you is her unselfish way of telling you she cares and is worried. The pamphlet from PFLAG for parents might me a good idea to get for her. Be patient, she has a different program on than you......Walk with Pride
