    Okay. Take two.

    Right, I'm a 16 year old gay male and, after a rough battle with depression, I was finally ready to come out to my parents. My dad has always had slightly homophobic tendencies, so I was kinda scared. But there wasn't much to be afraid of, it went a lot smoother than i thought it would.

    I was home from california a few days early (see my post titled back to depression for details) after my bad experience and i was visiting my parents.

    My two younger teenage brothers were also with us. When when we were eating dinner i randomly said, "dad, what do you think of gay people?" To which he replied, "same as what i think of everyone else. why do you ask?" i said "did you know i'm gay?" At this point everyone was staring at me.It wasn't the wisest time to come out. "WHAT! You're...gay? How long have you known this?"
    "Since i was 13 Dad."
    "Oh. okay. Well as long as you're not troubling anyone, thats fine. I'm glad you had the balls to tell me.

    (!) step two... school
    btw i am 16 my status thingy is wrong:eusa_doh:

    Congrats mate, just remember unless you are very protected or know the inside of most peoples mind, don't come out to everyone at school at once, also I am extremely happy that your parents were accepting of your sexuality unlike my mum whom I have to lie around and say I am straight after coming out to her :frowning2: anyway enough about the sad stuff and me, good luck and remember you are who you are, nothing can change that so keep your head held high and stay strong :slight_smile:
