I'm coming out to my mom tonight. I need good vibes, and perhaps a place to catch a shower...

just in case she kicks me out. I live in Denver, I promise to be a good puppy and I am house broken. Some might think I'm a lady, but sometimes I'm a tramp. :P

Well, anywho, yeah, if they kick my ass out, will someone please God feed me and let me take a shower and maybe do some laundry? I can stand everything else, but being stinky is not one of them.

I would definitely offer a place to showerbut since I'm in Upstate New York it would be a really long commute for a shower.

Good luck talking to your mom. Hopefully getting kicked out won't be an issue, family can have a way of being there for you when you least expect it.

:hug:

Are you expecting her to be upset, or just afraid she will?

Good luck, and remember, it IS
the 21st Century now, so they
might not have a big problem with
it!

:hug:

If I was near Denver you could def crash with us but we're in SF.

Good thoughts to your and your mom.

Hopefully, if I can do it prince charming can too.

:woohoo:

:yourock:

Cool beans!

:hi:

:hug:

I hope all is well. :)

"Mom, I'm gay."

"No shit. Pass the peas."

Congrats!

I bet you are so relieved and feel free. :hug:

She's disappointed (no grandchildren, et al) but even if I was a flaming hetero, I know I don't have the emotional development necessary to raise kids. I donate to causes, but there is an old proverb, which reads

"A man who is smart enough to realize he is a fool isn't entirely foolish."

I'm glad. :hug:

I often wonder about one of my best friends. He and his wife are the only ones who DON'T know that their 24 year old son is gay. Their son is a brilliant composer at a very prominent music academy (writes opera), and our mutual friends who are gay say that there's absolutely no doubt, but for some reason his parents are adamant that he's straight and "just a gentleman who never speaks about the women he's involved with". I don't get it. The young man's parents are progressives who support marriage equality, so why can't they see and accept the obvious? It makes me sad because it's become clear that their son has a man in his life who he seems fairly serious about, but he hasn't come out to them yet so his BF doesn't come home with him during the holidays or visit with his parents when they are in town. I hope that he finds the courage you did someday soon! They are close in every other respect, but for some reason they just can't seem to come to terms with it yet.:-(

My mother turned to my father and said..."you owe me ten bucks"

Where she told her friends she's gay and they all started paying or collecting their bets. :rofl:

But I bet it was hysterical!

And I said, "I think I knew before you did."

He has told me since that it was one of the best reactions he got.

are just being true to yourself. :hug:


I obviously know nothing about this, but it may take her some time. Just stay strong. :hug: :hug:

Even though you're probably glad you're not. Since I can't offer a cot and hot chocolate, here's the vibes.

I can only begin to imagine the fear and loathing that many must feel about telling their parents they are gay, and the courage it has to take to say it.

And so wonderful when the parents' reaction is acceptance and love!

:thumbsup:

:pals:

Congratulations to you and your mom!

You can relax... Your life will never be the same!

So you have a bed here! LOL But the pee pad is for the dogs so you have to stick to the toilet!;-) LOL Good luck!! :yourock:
