You seem like a real sweetie. I am kind of like the surrogate mother to a bunch of gay/bi/trans folks in their 20s because they could not tell their parents or they were not accepted by their parents after they came out. That makes me sad but I sure have an appreciative adopted family. . I'm very happy that you had a good experience. Much love going out to you! Namaste!
Simon "Amico Mio" you and I are already friends, and so your friend Bobby Griffiths' (Prayers for Bobby) old lover/boyfriend "Blaine" here, in not just "Whorin" himself in order to solicit your friendship, when he or I that is tell you how f**king proud you and this great upload of yours make me! It's truly a "Mitzvah" Babe!

im bi and i didnt get to come out to my family. idk how my big sister found out but she told everybody because they were talking about me coming back to live with them and they werent paying attention to her(yea she is kinda a bitch).when i finally told y mom she was like i already knew and it kinda hurt b/c i wanted to tell her myself but she told me that she still loves me no matter what
I hope by the time our generation has children in thier pubescent years, coming out the way gay people do now won't be neceserry (spelling?). Children will grow up knowing exactly what gay is and saying "I'm Gay" will be about as nervewracking as saying "I'm Left Handed". I'm not gay, and I thank god I'm not because I know if I was my family would never accept me. I don't want my children to have to feel that way.
You know what, I'd love for there to be one day where being gay wasn't a big deal. In my opinion it shouldn't be as big of a contreversy as it currently is. When I have kids, I want them to just embrace who they are, whether they're gay, straight, bi, etc.
I'd describe my coming out as fragmented. I knew definitely by age 13 but ignored it and denied it because people use gay as an insult. Then at about 15 told a friend because he kept asking who I liked at school, that then got spread around. Then next year I told my mum and dad via email, just so I could say everything and had no turning back. They then told people who told my siblings. 'Sall good now, except my eldest brother still doesn't know, only because I don't know how he'll react.
I'd love to be able to tell my mom-- Most of my friends know already, but I just dunno if I could ever tell my mom. She's not a homophobe, but she does believe we 'burn in Hell'. :(
@chuckles1252 I'd love it if that were true, and I don't think she'd disown me or anything, but it broke her heart when her brother came out, and I just dunno if she could deal with having a gay son-- honestly, most of the reason I don't come out is because she's handicapped, and if she did throw me out, she'd have no one here with her... =/ I dunno, I guess I would love to be able to, but on the same hand, I don't think it's the most important thing to do, for me. Y'know?
My relationship with my mother and I is very similar to your story. I am leaving for college in two months and fear she might take it badly. I have been debating over the last month whether to tell her now or to wait until the last day and say it right before I drive off. What do you think?
@PatrickStarBeast Well my relationship with my mom is fantastic, and she's always told me that no matter what she'll love me. I know she has had gay friends before, so it wasn't hard for me to actually do it. I knew she would support me, I just had to work up the courage. I always feel hesitant giving advice since I don't know the whole situation. The only person who really does is you! You'll just have to weigh out the options. GOOD LUCK!
Single mother gays really have no idea how easy it is for them compared to those with fathers, coming out to married parents is a dummy mission. It shouldn't be anyone's business anyway, omg okay, I will stop blowing up your inbox now. Over and out!
when i was in love as a young teenager i always calmed myself down with a roseanne episode where she said about some woman that she just loves her and told myself "well i just like that guy as she did in that episode" .. and years later i never told my parents that i am gay they just met my boyfriend, figured it out and loved him very much so it was not a problem to anyone but myself actually. still i wasted a lot of my teen time in fear of who i am and how people would react
My mom always told me that if i ever got a girl pregnant she would murder me. and now that ive come out, shes mad because i can't give her grandchildren. :/
Aww, your story and personal feelings read like the unsaid parts of my coming out story...my parents' main reaction to me being gay largely had to do with the grandchidren thing too..and then I had to console them about us having kids...le sigh! Glad it went well for you as well! :)
omg ur story has inspired me to tell my mom, but i still havent told her yet! lol, i wll soon =) i told me sister my cousin and a couple of friends, but not my mom yet. thats a huge step for me and watching this video made it easier for me. thank you simon!!! =)
No way could i tell my parents, at least not any time soon.
For me a friend of mine was really drunk and emotional because she was pms-ing and she was like "so... umm do you like girls?" LOL every since then smooth sailing.
Very beautiful story! I got the same response for myself, everyone pretty much knew. My mom was the same too-- not initially, but later she cried about it. Power to you, brother!

@sighmoansays thanks for the advice. I think it would be better for me to tell her now so we can actually talk about it before I leave.
