You guys, I’ve had a girlfriend for a week (well, officially/exclusively… but we’ve been dating for almost a year) and I’m scared because tomorrow is the date I have set to come out to my mom. Quite a few of my friends know, and my little brother knows. He says that our mom suspects it, so I’m thinking I shouldn’t be as worried (?). But I’m…[Read more]

You set a date? Better than me. I decided when people were worthy, fretted about it at every opportunity (read: whenever I was with that person) and eventually kind of blurted it out after “I have something to tell you” was used as the generic opening line.
I think you should just work up your confidence beforehand and go for it. Assuming you…[Read more]

So, I lied and totally chickened out on the date I had set. Did that on the next day and the next day and the next day too. Last night, I realized that the only way I would be able to get it out is if I told her I had something to say. Felt a little discouraged when she said “Don’t tell me tonight… wait until tomorrow.” But today we had the…[Read more]

I think the necessity of coming out to people was something I mentally created/adhered to. I say this because literally EVERYONE knew already. I told my mom and got an “I know.” I told my friends, and from EVERY ONE OF THEM, I got an “I know.” I told my teacher-mentor guy, and he said “I know.” I told the family I live with now rather than my…[Read more]

I “came out” (by which I mean the final installment of my three-stage-coming-out) not that long ago, maybe a month – yeah about a month ago. I’d already told some friends, and my parents (whom didn’t react too well, but seem to be coming around) it was at my Sixth-Form Summer-Ball, and I had had a small amount of alcohol – the amount where…[Read more]

My parents were pastors. Now divorced for over a year. My mom is a psychologist so I told her not only knowing her love of froyd but I knew she’d put emotions aside see it unbiased and from an almost scientific point of view. I was right. She gave me this long speech about how its normal and I have nothing to be ashamed of. My dad on the other…[Read more]

Were your friends/parents/coworkers etc surprised when you came out?
My mom’s first words were “I’m not shocked.”
-
Everyone was surprised when I told them! My parents didn’t have a clue, neither did my sister and my friends! After the “but you don’t look the part” they all said that they should have seen it coming!
-
I don’t really “look the part” — I’m your pretty generic overweight teenager in appearance, I suppose. Hair’s always above my shoulders, but usually only just. Nobody was really surprised just because I’ve been a gay rights activist since I was about 13 and, for the last few years, was a co-prez in my high school’s GSA.
Hell, *I* should have…[Read more]
