They kissed. The two beautiful femmes quite obviously on a dinner date and very much in love. My mom notices, stares, and then says “I just don’t get it. I don’t understand the attraction.”
There I sit, awkwardly ruffling my hair, not. saying. anything.
She has made it clear she would refuse to understand if I told her.
yayyyyy.

I told my Mum that I was gay after we watched a Westboro Baptist Church documentary, and spoke about how she ‘didn’t agree with the WBC but she also didn’t agree with IT (homosexuality)’ I don’t think I could of picked a worse time to come out.

  I don’t know. I mean, her thoughts aside, basically everybody hates the WBC so it’s useful as a tool to force people to be anti-anti-gay.

  /: that sounds like it was majorly awkward. Everyone does hate the WBC. Hopefully she’ll grow to be more accepting now that you’re out.

Well then you should probably avoid telling her until you are safe and your education is paid for. But just remember that sometimes what transforms a fuckhead into a PFLAG parent is having a gay kid.

  I’m hoping that me telling her will have that effect. I know there will come a point in the future where she’ll accept it, because her problem is honestly just a refusal to understand. I’m lucky enough that if I did choose to deal with that right now, she wouldn’t kick me out of the house or do anything drastic. I just don’t really want to face it…[Read more]

My mum told me that being gay was something important men (e.g. celebrities and ancient kings) tried because too many women wanted them and they were bored when I was a kid. My cousin also told me 2 women kissing was disgusting.

They both love me now and are 100% on board :)
