What would you do if your family and friends knew about yor sexuality? what if instead of denying it they accepted it? Would you be shocked releived or just be plain happy?

And for thoose whose parents that do know, what was their reaction? Did they get angry or did they accept it? or did they just not care and kept going? Just tell me what happend when they found out or shat if they all did. EWht would you do?

And please do not qoute this. Please and thank you 3nodding

I had been questioning my sexuality for a while, and I went to a big seminar (Long story.), and by the end of it I had realized that I was, in fact, afraid to admit to myself that I liked girls because I was scared about being hated. That night I decided to tell my parents....and this is what happened. I kid you not.

Henada: Mom, dad, when we get in the car I have something really important to tell you.
Dad: Oh! Haha! Let me guess, your a lesbian right? -Lols and gets in car-
Mom: -Gets to her door and looks at me, smiling.-
Henada: -I look back at her all worry and smiling-
Mom: -Laughs and gets in car-

I told them then. It went over really well, both said that no matter what they would love me and so on and so forth. The only real objection at all was my dad said that you never really know your sexuality until you have sex.

(And they both told me not to tell my friends at school, but I did.)

All my friends pretty much know. A few dont, but its not like they really need to. I dont have a crush on them, and its really none of theyre buisness. x3

I think all of mine know about me now,
i'm not to sure. But it's pretty obvious that im a cross dresser lol. and my parents, nan, aunt, sibling and cuz know. But that's about it, i didnt plan on telling my gran mother but my aunt did it to make a show of me stare so i'm not longer talking to her.
But my parents took it ok, but they don't know about the cross dressing bit.
when i told my dad i was a lesbian he just went 'oh, ok then' and my mother didnt talk t me for about an hour afterwards lol

I told my mother, and it's taken her some time to accept. She still gets angsty when I wear pride clothes, but she's generally better about it. Which is cool. I was scared she'd be the most difficult, because my entire life she's bashed lesbians. Her and my aunt used to make crass jokes and hits at lesbians at the dinner table. I think it shocked her a lot.

Tomorrow I tell my grandmother, who is one of the most important people in my life. I'm a little nervous, because she's worse than my mom about resentment and holding grudges and stuff, but if I think about what my great-grandmother would have said, tomorrow's reaction will pale in comparison.


My siblings were cool about it, and my brother thinks it's great to have someone to check out girls with.
My best friends from childhood were shocked, but were cool.
And my current best friends are great about it, at least.. the straight ones. I have more GBLT friends than anything now.

I lucked out.

I think they know but we don't talk about stuff like that. We dont even talk about my mom attempting suicide. Yep.

My parents just ignore that I don't date boys or care much for them.

My parents would just think it was a phase and pretend to be accepting. I don't think I'd be able to stand it, but I guess it's better than having them so repulsed they threw me out of the house. They probably wouldn't even let me hang out with any female friends (even if they were straight though).

_My parents know.

_I told my mom and she got mad, questioning me and telling me I wasn't, that my straight friends influenced me. Eventually she told me she may not understand me, but she loves me regardless and still says so. Since then, we haven't talked about my sexual orientation. At first I thought I thought she didn't believe me, like she didn't believe that I was, and that she did believe it was just a phase, and I'm still not sure whether or not she really believes I am, but she's always been loving and excepting of me. As for my step-dad, he found out on his own, when he randomly went on Myspace and searched for my mom's and mine, of course without just asking us if we had them instead of being a ******** psycho about it, and he started an argument with my mom about it, accusing her for my sexual orientation, saying it was her fault, and continuing to give her s**t about me, with their door wide open so I could hear all of his bullshit, until I stormed in and raised my voice at him telling him that if he had something to say about me to say it to me and that it was natural, etc. He's a homophobe and since then hasn't said anything to me about it either, nor did he ever apologize for that night.
_Wow, just thinking about it got me pissed. It's been a while since then. And still, I have so much anger in me. Sorry for the cursing. :/
All of my friends know. Most of them arent' totally straight themselves, a few are bisexual, but none that I really talk to about those things. As far as homophobia goes, I haven't encountered much of it beside the whole "That's gay" thing that everyone says, all the time at school, which gets very annoying. I guess I'm lucky.
I love Gaia. smile heart

If all that stuff said in the main post ever happened i would be relieved as frick. I told most of my friends, but like a lot of yall a few of my friends don't know and i could care less if they found out.

My parents don't believe me. So I have both sides of this. They think I wouldn't tell anyone if I was, especially people on the internet.

they're idiots.
