    Kayy, so I totally didnt plan on telling my mom for like...a LONG time. Im really close with her, but my sister recently went through a stupid lesbian phase and now she says shes straight, and i didnt know how my mom would react when i told her...

    Sooooo, we were sitting in the car and we were talking about how dramatic some of my friends are when it comes to relationships and crushes, or "love" as they call it, how they throw love around like it doesnt mean anything.

    Anyways, she asked me if I liked anyone.

    Gahh.

    Ive never been able to lie to her, so i just went quiet, and she said if i wouldnt tell her she'd guess until she got it right. So, i told her that it was my friend. Whose a girl. And she said that was her first guess.

    0.0

    I was pretty surprised, but she was good with it, and said that she may not understand but shell try to be supportive and stuff...and so now she knows. But i dont know how im gonna tell my dad...hes pretty homophobic. Not in a really bad people, but i guess it...scares him a little. At least i got my mom over with.

    Seems like this is in appropriate place to mention I also came out to my mom recently :slight_smile:

    Not last Saturday, the one before. We were in the car just me and her so I thought "Oohhhh... good timing!". So I basically just said "Um... while we have some free time... [silence] I think I'm gay..." She was OK with it, though she didn't really know what to say. And that's about it, pretty anti-climatic. It did feel good :slight_smile:

    Then a few days later we had this big 3 hour talk on how she and my dad ruined my childhood and bla bla bla... it was like me cleaning out everything I wanted to say. Good thing to do...

    I'd be afraid to tell my mom in the car....she might drive off the road she's so surprised, and she's not the greatest driver to begin with.
