I came out to one of my friends and it was a great experience. It went like this; "Yeah she's my girlfriend" "Wait- are you bi?" "No I'm gay! Haha" "You're a lesbian?" "Yes??" "Oh I'm sorry Lena, we can't be friends anymore" "..." "...I'm just kidding, love you! *hugs" Sha-weet! I've never gotten a hug from him. It was great And I almost came out to my mom today...again. I told her about the YES conference this weekend and she was like "are you gay?". And I said "no" -_- Then we started talking more about gay stuff and she says she's totally fine if I'm gay and she's just worried about what other people would think especially since I might be moving to Montana but I told her I already thought about that. Then she wondered why I was thinking about all these things..nothing lol Am I totally lame for saying no?

First of all, congrats!!! (*hug*) Im glad everything went so well! As for your mom, ts totally not lame that you didnt tell her. She's your mom, so you care about her & you may be a bit concerned that her idea of who you are may change (which it sounds from what you've said like it won't, in fact it sounds a bit like she may already know), so wanting to pick the time that's best for you to come out to her is probably what you just need to do. These things can't be forced, that's all!
Congratulations (*hug*) That's so awesome. I'm out to like all my friends and they STILL haven't met my bf yet so I think that's really cool!
Aw thank you *hugs!! I think you're right, its just going to feel so different when I come out. I might feel normal for once and that kind of scares me for whatever reason...but I'll come out soon, I think she does know so it won't be that hard <3 ---------- Post added 8th Dec 2011 at 09:15 PM ---------- Thank you! Aw man, well I'm sure they'll love him when they do meet him
Congrats on coming out to your friend Don't worry about telling your mom until you are ready to do it, but it sounds like she wouldn't have a problem with it
Congratulations, and I'm glad you got a good reaction!! You're mom sounds like she could be a good ally, but wait until YOU are ready! Best of luck!!
Congrats on coming out to your friend and in time I know you will find the right time and place to come out to your mom.
