This is how it went down!

Some background

I am 22 years of age and live in South Africa. My parents are divorced. I've been out to my dad, most friends and my cool aunt and cousin for a couple of years now. I guess I've never told my mom because you know.... It's so damn hard to actually say it! All of the people who know have found out via the grapevine so I never really had to force myself to tell someone.

What went down yesterday

My father's sister (hence referred to as the biatch) is really homophobic and she snooped around on my Facebook profile (my profile is really secure so I don't know how she found shit on there. Damn new timeline really has privacy issues!) and she saw stuff on there that insinuated that I'm gay.

So she called my cousin and asked her if I'm gay and my cousin said she doesn't know. Then the biatch called my cousin's mother (my cool aunt) and asked if I'm gay... My aunt then asked why and admitted that I am gay after the biatch said she could tell by my Facebook profile. The biatch then cried, said it's wrong, asked whether my grandmother, mother and father know and then the biatch went ape-shit when my (cool) aunt said yes my father knows and that my 'father is not like this' and 'why didn't he stop me' and blahblahblah. (Side note: my mother and grandmother doesn't know).

My cousin then called me and told me what had happened and I had two options: (1) stress about the biatch calling my mother and tell her that I am gay or (2) just come out and not having to stress anymore.

What went down tonight

So I made the choice to tell my mother- I've always been scared to tell her because I am her only child and really worry about her not having grandchildren and all those silly things...

So when my mom got home I called her into my bedroom and just told her. I cried a lot and she kept saying she love me and that she would never reject me. She also asked for me to send her articles and sources that she can read through so that she can understand what's going on... She also said she just wants to process everything and then she would tell her parents and my father's mother.
