IT`s great that you are coming to grips with your sexuality,but what I would like to know is why some gay people think that they have to scream it to the world?
I like people no matter what they`re sexual preferance is I just don`t want to know what they do in the privacy of their own bedroom wether they are straight,gay or bi sexual

I agree with you pretty much, but I think when people are made to feel ashamed for who they are, announcing without fear a statement like "gay and proud" today or "black is beautiful" during the civil rights movement can be healthy.

In the case of a gay person having just stepped out of the closet- imagine carrying a weight like that on your chest for so many years!

I agree, but it's a shame people have to be classified like that.

I really dont care what a person is like, as long as they are themselves!

I agree Erika! It`s just that I have a few gay friends and they don`t feel the need to Broadcast their "gayness" They don`t even like going to those gay pride parades cause they feel doing so Stereo types them.

Welcome!

These boards are full of wonderful, kind individuals who have a common bond...Disney. I find them to be well informed, courteous and extremely funny at times. I am sure you will fit right in.

I work with a gay woman, and she was talking about telling her parents. I never had to announce to my parents that I liked women with long hair and full lips.

I'll never forget when a good friend of mine came out: we grew up together and he was best man at my wedding. We both went into law enforcement at the same time, and he had several girlfriends as well. He had so much confusion, because the people he thought would have the hardest time accepting his news, just had a "well, whatever" attitude. The people who he thought wouldn't care, found it hard to accept and some shunned him. Everyone who turned their backs on him seemed to forget that he was a good person, and a good cop.

Give your parents time. They will realize that who you are inside and what they have loved about you all this time, hasn't changed one little bit.

well coming out to my mom was very hard. We are very close but during high school we sorta grew apart because I couldn't be truthful or be myself around her. Finally I told her my senior year. I lived in a small town so it wasn't like I knew anyone else that was gay. So all my support came from online. Thank goodness we had some form of internet since I was in middle school hehe. Finally I went into my mom's room while she was doing laundry and told her straight out. She just sorta froze, and I cried my eyes out. It was strange because I thought she would comfort me but instead she looked angry. Anyway she asked me "did the internet turn you gay" LOL. Then she said she would still love me but she just didn't know if she could except it. And that I was never to bring a boyfriend home haha. Well after after a rock spring and summer time, I went to college. Well that gave her some time to think over things. And as Christmas time she met my best friend who I met at college but happen to have grown up near my town. In fact his parents use to live beside my grandparents a long time ago(small world after all). Anyway he broke all her stereotypes. And she knew how much he had done for me, and loved him so much. Well later that winter she met my first boyfriend who she thought was a studmuffin LMAO!! And over time she has just became more open and relaxed about it. She always ask me to bring my friends down in the summer and hang out on our river property and boat. Anywho our relationship is stronger than ever. I love her with all my heart and she hopes that I find my life long "partner" as she calls it. Though I hate that word because I am not going in to business with a guy.

My other family members finding out just came gradually. My brother found out at my high school graduation when he was looking at my internet history file. My mom told me later and I freaked out because he is a very conservative guy that is in the navy. But he just wanted me to be happy and said he had know for a long time.:lol: My stepdad found out during a therapy session and didn't blink an eye. And my other two brothers just figured it out. Since one of my bros ex is the ______ hag of my town lol. And my other brother's fiance do stuff all the time, and she if very supportive. I think it just takes time for people to realize it is the same "you" you were always gay but what you sexual preference is doesn't matter. And that you are the same fun loving person.
