My coming out in High Def!

Hi my name is Ryan, recently came out to parents, sister and friends. Just thought I would share my story with everyone. I decided to "warm up" on my sister about a week ago so I called her up and started the usually conversing. I said something along the lines of "struggling" to find myself for a couple of years now and I told her "I'm gay" and have accepted who I was. She took it fine, without stride. I did want to tell my parents in person, however, she convinced me otherwise insisting I would feel a lot better. I'm at WIU about 3 1/2 hours away so it wasn't like I could just go see them. So I decided to call my dad. He was in traffic, of course I was a little concerned! I started going in telling him about sexuality and I just came out with "Dad, I'm gay". At first he thought I was pulling my leg but after much persistence he came to terms with me saying it. Not going to lie the car ride was full of awkward pauses, and questions. "So you're saying dudes turn you on?" I was like "Correct". He was shocked to say the least. But I will always remember what he told me "Ryan, your mother and I will love you no matter, and I am at a loss for words now because it is something I fully don't understand, but time heals everything." After that he was at home in the drive way. It was Mom's turn. Again "Shock and awe" but she "loves me no matter what". She started getting all funny, hoping she never said anything "off color". She even seemed puzzled as to why I waited so long since she is a flight attendant and has numerous gay friends. Needless to say, my heart was pounding afterwords. I never felt better since though and I am so glad I did, finally I get to be myself and embrace feelings I have had all this time.
