    So I had a plan to be out to everyone before highschool. I'm almost there, since I'm out to anyone who asks, plus I'm sure its gotten around the school.

    But I was not ready to come out to family. I wanted to come out to them on my own. But that didn't happen. I was in the hospital and my parents are nosy people, so they decided to check my internet history. And of course, I left empty closets open on my browser. I was so incredibely scared when confronted. But it all turned out okay.

    The conversation went like this:

    Dad: Why is there a gay forum up on your browser?
    Me: (thinking "Oh shiiiit, i'm not ready") Because I'm not straight.
    Dad: Thats okay. I just wanted to know.
    Me: Really?
    Dad: I've always wanted a gay daughter. Someone needs to keep the family name.

    And my mom was okay with it too. In fact, a month and a half later they took me to the pride parade in Toronto and bought me a rainbow flag.

    So everything turned out just fine.

    That's so cool and fortunate! I'm that person. If and when I ever have kids, I always fantasize about having a queer child. In some form or another. But I mean....of course I'll love them if they're straight. :lol: :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
