    So we were just in the car and I was like...
    um... so I just thought you should know... I might be a lesbian.

    her: well its not uncommon for girls your age to experiment

    no.. I haven't been "experimenting" I just think that I might be a lesbian

    her: well what makes you think that then?

    ...*me rambling on about gay issues and avoiding saying anything specific*

    her: Ok thanks for letting me know and educating me. Don't worry I still love you. now why do you think you are?

    well because I sort of have a crush on K and stuff.

    her: well she is pretty nice. her blue hair stage was a little weird, but it worked for her.

    so you aren't mad even though it's like against out religion?

    her: why on earth would I ever be mad. I'm fine with it right now it just needs to sink in

    wait so... in the future you won't be fine with it?

    her: no I will be I love you it doesn't change anything... except... you know there are friends and there are people who are more than friends and then there are people who are *more* than friends. I'm cool with it as long as lines aren't crossed.

    Haha. alright. so *proceeds to draw lines* this is all good right?

    her: I guess... please let me know if anything I say ever offends you


    Oh awkward conversations with my mother. :slight_smile:

    PS: later in the day she couldn't open a bottle of tea and handed it to me and asked if I could open it. I said, "why because I'm a lesbian? stereotype much?" and we laughed.

    I'm just so glad my coming out to her went so well! I wish everyone else well.

    Im curious, what did she mean by "I will be I love you it doesn't change anything... except... you know there are friends and there are people who are more than friends and then there are people who are *more* than friends. I'm cool with it as long as lines aren't crossed"?

    Yay! If it weren't awkward it would be weird/scripted/not genuine.

    Congrats :icon_wink:kiss::eusa_clap(*hug*)

    She doesnt care if I want to do "stuff" with girls or guys she just doesn't want me to do too much at 17 and when I'm not in a committed relationship.
