Default So I just came out to my parents...

Okay so I'm kinda good at spur of the moment coming outs... So some background I'm sick and losing my voice. So they are teasing me about these girls I always hang out with. I told them I know I am not into them. They keep going. And I just said it. My mom reacted immediately " bullshit" and I had to say yes three times to tell them I wasn't joking, but they took it well. I think they were confused because I have two bros both significantly older and I've had more girlfriends. I'm now pretty content.

Awesome story. Sometimes the spur-of-the-moment opportunities can be the best ones, but many of us have had the opportunities and simply let them slip right past. So congrats for seizing the opportunity and getting it out there!
