    I was having a bit of a bisexual pride moment. I was home alone, on tumblr, feeling very pride-y.

    I picked up my phone and without even thinking about it, punched out a message to my mum. She was overseas at the time, flying to England via Singapore. It said something like this:

    Hey mum, hope you land safely, I'm fine, i just think it's time to let you know that i'm bisexual and i've known since March. Have a good trip!

    Her reply?

    "Moo, you really know how to communicate by text! Thanks for telling me, it matters so much more that you have good relationships with people who love and respect you, than it matters what their gender is. I love and support you, mum <3 <3 <3 :slight_smile:"

    When i got it, i cried with happiness. After that, i never really "came out" to the rest of my family, but i introduced my girlfriend at the time to them, so they knew i was bi or pan.

    Just thought i'd share my coming-out story :slight_smile:

    That's great! And I concur; your mom sounds great and I want a mom like that as well. In fact, a whole family like that.

    Does your mom have a twin, cause if she did, it would probably be my mom.

    My mom is so supportive, and I'm happy about it

    That's amazing! My mothers not as accepting, 2 years back my family found out my sexuality and my mother told me that people who aren't straight burn in hell, and a bunch of other crap. Being myself, I didn't listen even though she tried to "talk me out of it" for 30 minutes. My father, however, was crying. Then about a few months later they got over it and think "I went straight again."...My family today, especially my mother, are more accepting but I don't think they'll want kids who aren't straight...Soo...Boohoo for me I guess. Anyway, congratulations to you! :grin:
