    So I told my mother that I'm bisexual. She's perfectly okay with it (thinks it might be a phase, but she'll accept that it might not be), and has told me that she'll support me, whatever I am ^____^

    Congratulations!

    I think the "phase" response is inevitable at your age, but she has accepted that it may not be which is great.

    I know she does, she's one of my best friends :slight_smile:

    And Dubai isn't really that big, I'm not from a particular area or anything.

    I've always wondered if it was harder to come out as gay or bisexual, with homosexuality being under more aggressive fire from the public but bisexuality being seen more commonly as a phase or "transitional step" to hetero- or homosexuality.

    Either way, parents are hard no matter who you are. Great job.

    That's fantastic, congratulations! Telling my parents was the hardest of everything for me, and my mum still thinks I'm going through a phase too.

    That's awesome news. Telling your mom is the first biggest step imo. Friends are easy lol. My sister and brother don't believe me but are coming to accept it. They all come around in time.
