You will. It was something a friend of my mine said about coming out "There's never a good time" so I just thought "Sod it, I'm gonna do this " and did it.

Trust me you'll get that strength. I never thought I had it but here I am

Thanks everyone for your responses

Lewis · 21st Jun 2012, 04:08 PM

I really do hope so

Seems like I can only tell random people when I'm drunk. I really need to tell my best friend first...I just don't know how! Again, keep us updated.

RueBea85 · 21st Jun 2012, 05:25 PM

Well done!! You're so brave!!

Lewis · 21st Jun 2012, 05:29 PM

Oh, by the way, how did you put the message? Just simply, 'I'm gay'?

Menaki-Neko · 21st Jun 2012, 05:58 PM

I second that motion.

And by the way, so much respect for you right now. If I were you I'd be a nervous wreck cause I never was good at reading peoples true emotions through texting. Are you worried he won't be supportive?

Ascension · 21st Jun 2012, 06:09 PM

congratulation! please keep us updated

**Ianthe** · 21st Jun 2012, 08:26 PM

Yes! Excellent! Congratulations!

Whatever happens, this totally calls for dancing bananas!

Have you got an answer yet? I can't wait to hear...

And yes--what did you put in the text message?

Gazza123 · 22nd Jun 2012, 03:37 AM

My text message was a long one "Dad, Got something to tell you and mam. Not sure how you's are gonna take it. But I'm just letting you know... Don't worry, it's nothing bad, just something I've known for a few years now. If you think you know what it is then you can ask but if you don't want to then don't"

Reply "I think I know what your on about. Just tell me what it is so I don't get the wrong idea"

Then I replied with "I'm gay. Dad"

He then said we need to talk at length about it which got me a little freaked out but then I was reading message totally the wrong way. He just meant we should take about it as a family. He was shocked but just sorry I didn't say anything sooner. He only wants me to be happy.

I also told my mom and she replied with "If fine. I'm alright with it. Love you always xxx" which I kinda expected and then I asked her if she knew and she just replied with "No. I knew I think"

SO HAPPY AND PROUD OF MYSELF

ilayis · 22nd Jun 2012, 03:41 AM

Wow, that's so inspiring. I don't dare telling my parents, even though I know they will support me. There's just something that's holding me back.
But the time will come, I guess?

It will. As I said in an early post in this thread. A friend told said to me "that there's never a good time to come out, you've just gotta do it"

Hopefully it will happen for you one day soon

maxx · 22nd Jun 2012, 05:18 AM

Gazza - I am SO PROUD of you! And I'm so glad that your folks are happy for you.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life!
