Just came out to my mother - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

So I just came out to my mother, and it's literally one of the best and most difficult things I have ever done in my life. She sort of forced it out of me, saying that she didn't want to worry about what I was going to say. I told her that I was gay and she told me that she didn't care who I love as long as I'm happy. We discussed all of the regular stuff, such as if I was seeing anyone etc and I'm just incredibly relieved at her reaction. She told me that she loved the idea (though she does seem to think it means I will go shopping with her and my sister more ha ha) and generally it's all good. I'm just scared now that I have to tell my father, but I think it's a great step.

Congratulations on coming out. I hope every thing good just as great with your dad.

Congratulations, that's awesome. It's wonderful when parents are supportive. And she can help you with your father.

Thanks guys

came out to my sister and brother in law now which is good, all I have to do now is tell my dad!

On a side note, if any of you are good at fixing computers do you know how to fix a netbook that won't boot half the time and keeps crashing and bluescreening. >.>
