I can say that you waited for the right time honestly, because your father mentioned that he isn't in control of your personal life now -- I can't imagine if you told them about being gay when you were much younger.

EDIT: And oh just to throw this in the bag, my dad is CONVINCED that I can change my sexuality. Anyone want to share a cup of LOL with me? Please I have plllllllenty.

Believe me, I'm VERY convinced. I brought this up in the conversation, the only time I spoke up betwixt the fact he keeps bringing that up.

I'm convinced I wouldn't be here speak with you all about this. Yes... it's sad, but I've learned to accept it. He touches me, he gets Kung Fu Furry into the next millennium.

Live how you wanna live, your parents can accept it or can not accept it but it doesn't change you

also i'm with Dossar on this one, glad he didn't go all "we can fix this son don't worry" on you and left it at just "that's wrong" which he's obviously still wrong about (lol) but congratulations :]

A lot of times parents will react badly and eventually grow to accept it. Most parents don't just lose the love for their child easily. Good for you for getting it off your chest, it's so much better to just be upfront and honest in my opinion.

Kudos to you Flipsta for having the guts to tell them, it must have taken a lot of courage. Sorry to hear about your parents' reactions though. :/ Hopefully they'll learn to accept you for who you are and things will work out in the long run.

Re: So I finally came clean to my parents.

You know though, I'm glad they reacted the way they did. They were honest and I respect that.

Re: So I finally came clean to my parents.

our parents grew up being spoon fed wrong ideas. When they were kids prejudice was force fed with a belt(half the time)

that is actually a pretty normal reaction I feel from their generation. I'm sorry it couldn't work out better but you don't need to make your parents happy, as long as your happy. You already know everything I'm saying but it's good to say it anyways haha

Ken, I knew it was only a matter of time before you had to say it, and so you did. Good job on that.

Re: So I finally came clean to my parents.

Why people can't just leave other people to their own lives I have no idea.

A short checklist:
Is it hurting anybody?
Is it any of your business?
Is there a very good reason to intervene?

If the answers are "no" then leave them be!

People just REALLY need to learn to mind their own business sometimes, and just let others live in peace.

And yeah it could have been worse, but this judgmental stuff really needs to stop. My view is who cares if you are gay/straight/bi/alien/robot/zombie? Likewise who cares what your gender is, what your age is, etc... ? I mean really unless someone wanted to get intimately involved with you, why should any of that matter .. at all?

Hey Ken, good job! I hate it when parents think it's wrong to be gay, but what can you do about it? Again, congrats and I wish the best luck to you in life
