So some of you may have read my thread where I asked advice if I should switch schools (thanks for all the help by the way!) and I went up to my mom an told her my decision. Then she asked me if I was being teased, and I said no. Then, there was a silence. "Have you ever questioned your sexuality". I almost said no, but then I said "Mom, I'm pretty sure I'm gay." And started bawling my eyes out. My mom pretty much said she had suspected it for a long time, that it was OK, I couldn't change it. She's not quite perfectly accepting (she still thinks I'm young and may be confused, which is legitimate - I've never had a sexual encounter with either gender) but the onyl thing she said was to wait a long time before having sex. I love and respect my mom's judgement,, but I think I'll leave the decision up to me.
Update on the situation: I'm out to my dad now as well. My mom is really scared for me, but both of them are very accepting of it. The only thing that bothers me is my dad doesn't want me to "act gay", like working on my walk, hand motions and voice, which are all (apparently) gay. It's not going to work, but I went along with it because he was being so great.
congrats, it sounds like they are being very supportive and trying to understand. They will get used to it with time!
