    I told my sister i was bi and she took it really well which ment a lot. we are really close.
    telling my mom was hard because we are not that close and i didn't know how to bring it up.
    one night my best friend (a guy) had just left. i told my mom that he was having grl troubles and she told me that me and him would end up together. i told her no. she kept on insisting tha we would and i just blurted out "We can never be together! I'm gay!"
    hahaha! the look on he face--her eyes bugged out and she asked me if i was joking and i said no. then it got really awkward, she didnt know what to say so i went into my room.
    she came in about 2 minutes later and said that it was cool with her and that whatever i chose to do it was ok with her.
    it made me feel so good. all i could think of is, wow im lucky.
    ive had some friends who tell there parents the same thing and they get kicked out.

    i hope whoever you decide to tell will have the same good opinion!!!

    :lol: :eusa_danc :grin: (!) (&&&)

    Nice job! It's funny because your story is pretty much the way I expect it to happen. My Mom is always asking about girls and who I'm interested in and stuff...

    I'm envying you a lot right now, I wish I had a mother as accepting as yours. But courage deserves rewards, well done mate, that took some gusto.
