Should've just realized you're not really gay but have serious psychological problems that you should get help with. There was a time everyone knew that's all it was, but psychologists got tired of doing their jobs or something. It's hilarious that nobody can see the pattern. I've known several gay people and yeah they're nice and all, but not a single one of them could tell me honestly that they didn't have problems in the past. This gay guy I knew for example was treated like crap by his parents (sounds like this is the same situation in this FML for those who actually pay attention), and two lesbians I knew had both been raped in the past. I'd also like to add that one of them had her own son so she clearly wasn't always lesbian. Funny how terrible past experiences correspond so often with being gay yet nobody can see it. I'm just waiting for the day when people are going to start accepting people who think they're in love with animals. That sort of thing is out there and still treated like a mental condition, but I'm sure those people think their feelings are natural too, lol.

I hope you're pleased with the attention you're getting #11. & OP, most people would be glad to have such a peaceful coming-out. Not really an FML moment.

so, you wanted your parents to be mad? it's the same thing as saying I'm straight so be glad they aren't against it

I can understand how coming out would be a scary and nerve-wracking thing, because it's hard to know *for sure* how the family will react. In some cases, though, I think it's a much bigger deal to the person coming out than it needs to be. I get why someone would at least consider all possible outcomes-- I've heard some shameful horror stories. But I also think it might be easy to focus on those stories too much, moreso than the character of your family, and neglect to give the BOTD. I would be very sad and disappointed if a sibling of mine felt the need to rehearse "every possible outcome", rather than already knowing, or at least strongly suspecting, that I'd be totally supportive. Based on just their knowledge of who I am as a person, I would want them to be able to anticipate my support and acceptance. I've never been faced with this, though, so this is all speculation. I'm genuinely interested in hearing the thoughts of someone who's gone through this, or who will go through it eventually. If you'd like to share your perspective, you can reply or PM me.

So, your parents aren't mad at you for being gay? Be thankful. A lot of gay people go through hell telling their families.

****** you should die

So why you complaining? Some homosexuals wished their family would accept them as gay.

They probably already knew. Did you want them to freak out?

so did he birth you out of his ass?

so I'm confused. they didn't freak out and apparently already knew. why are you upset?
