Sounds like a potential movie deal, man

Perhaps if you could ever convince your parents that you *can't* just change that you're gay, even if you wanted to, might be the biggest achievement into them accepting you for how you are.

Re: So I finally came clean to my parents.

"Came clean" could mean anything. It could even be that you were hiding a bad test score cause you were doing something else other than studying, like going to narnia.

It seems like a lot of peoples first thoughts on this would be coming out of the closet.

But... that's what it was... I don't see where you're going with this.

Re: So I finally came clean to my parents.

There's some cousin in your family right now who's like 'Yes, I'm no longer the biggest disappointment to the family, at least for now!' You totally made their day :-p

I have a transsexual uncle but that's all I know. And far from disappointment at least from my side. I know I've done my part and my responsibility. If by disappointment meaning I'm not going to partake exchanging my gene pool, I should be doing the family a great deal of a favor...

I'm bisexual, I've never really seen why everybody makes such a big deal of telling their parents. Telling my parents hasn't even ever crossed my mind. It isn't really any of their business, who cares.

Most of the time, my parents talk about people's unorthodoxies and make it a big deal. I could have been trying to get something out of them knowing their own son is one of those people they shun and put down a lot.

Perhaps if you could ever convince your parents that you *can't* just change that you're gay, even if you wanted to, might be the biggest achievement into them accepting you for how you are.

They'll accept me eventually, but I highly doubt they can accept the fact being gay isn't something simple as just "liking the same sex because I chose to start it on my own". My dad even brought up some gays get married to women just to be morally correct. This is also why I stopped talking.

That's good dude. Tbh I think it's a lot more accepted (still not close to fully) in society, just adults/older people seem to have a problem with it. My dad, I know, would be pissed considering he is very religious and I would probably never tell him.

This explains my situation, except I'd lean more towards curious.
I'm not tight with my family. They love me to death, but we don't really talk much. Parents keep yelling at each other so I see no point in telling them personal stuff.

Re: So I finally came clean to my parents.

I actually didn't know that you were gay.

It's also quite surprising to not only see a lot of people admitting that they too share the same fate, but also to see a lot of people being entirely supportive of it. Congratulations on mustering up the courage to tell your parents -- when you have clashing morals (especially within religious families), things can get downright ugly.

EDIT: and also, awesome to all of you openly admitting and being confident that people will respect your opinions, because it definitely seems like that is the case here.

Re: So I finally came clean to my parents.

When did you realize you were gay?

Re: So I finally came clean to my parents.

a shame your parents think "wrong" of you.


honestly it just makes you another person I don't see the big deal with being gay hehu

Re: So I finally came clean to my parents.

When did you realize you were gay?

Very young of age... about the age of 6-7 when I started to "act funny" around male counterparts, but didn't admit it to myself until 6th grade. I kept it under wraps since then, kept it a secret so hard as if my life depended on it. I acted to the point where no one finds out, even got myself to go out with girls just to see if that'll change anything.

Re: So I finally came clean to my parents.

While support from someones parents can be crucial and important to an individual and their intentions, it's not always necessary with the rest of the world, especially your friends support you. I for one have always accepted you without question as a great man Flip Don't let any hard feelings from your parents ruin the mood for you. Be free with that shit <3

Re: So I finally came clean to my parents.

You're going to have an awkward phase where your parents are going to get used to it, but once that passes, you can worry about bigger things. Of course, that's saying if they let it pass...

Re: So I finally came clean to my parents.

Congrats on having the courage to do that. For me, starting to come to terms with myself being bi, probably won't let any of my family know for many years, but might try and tell to my mum sometime in the next year or so.

She's told me many times before that she doesn't care if I was gay or not years ago, just that I be confident and everything in life, and try to have a good future...but it's still hard to think about me having to tell her one day :/
