Age: 18 Posts: 142 Join Date: Aug 2012 | My name is Robin, I just came out a few days ago, and my mom suggested this website to me. I'm 17, and I'm here to get some support on my sexuality and get some questions about myself answered. I also hope to help others if I can. I'll see you around the site. ![]() |

| So gay I can't even drive straight! Full Member ![]() Gender: Male Orientation: Completely Gay Out Status: Out to everyone Age: 25 Posts: 2,079 Join Date: Jul 2012 | Welcome Robin. I read your story, congrats on your mom being so supportive, that's great! I really hope your dad, brother, and friends can open up their mind a bit and be accepting. Sometimes people can say many anti-gay things and seem pretty homophobic, but when it comes down to being someone that they love and care for, it can change how they feel over time. Good luck. |

| Well Known Full Member ![]() Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Out :D Location: In an octopus's garden...in the shade. Age: 18 Posts: 142 Join Date: Aug 2012 | Well, my mom found out about this website after I told her I was gay, and then she did some research on the matter. (Probably to help her accept all of this.). Coming out to her went really well, and I came out to my mom first, because I knew that I had the best relationship with her. (Although I still had my car keys and wallet in my pockets as well as my shoes on in case I had to make a quick escape from my house after telling her.) |

But they were fully accepting as well. My dad just had lots of weird awkward questions and stuff. But I think he handled it well. |
