How do I come out to my mum?

Question

She isn't homophobic at all, with a lot of L*****n friends, but how can I tell her without sounding cliche and without her thinking that I'm only curious (because I'm quite young) or doubting me?

Answer 1

Sounds like your mom is a pretty modern forward thinking person.  I would not worry about coming out to her. Tell her what you've been thinking about and let her know that your just a little curious.  She will probably be fine and you will so relieved once you have gone through with it.  I was in that same situation with my parents and both my parents are still a big part of my life.  Me and my partner go out to diner with them at least once a week.

Answer 2

Get some counseling.

Answer 3

Okay, you said you were quite young. How much is quite young? If you're like 14+ It's still pretty young, but if you feel like you have to tell your mom, and she's okay with homosexuality, I say go for it. I'm sure she'll support you 100%. Just know that sometimes things don't go the way we expect them to. And life has a way of surprising us all. As long as you keep that in mind, I think you can make your choice. I'm sure that if you sit down and talk to her, she won't doubt you. But I know from experience that no matter how understanding a parent is, they'll always have it in the back of their minds that you could be straight. My mom could not be more understanding. And for that I am so grateful. But I know she probably wonders if I could ever be with a guy. I remember that for a while she kept asking me, "So are there any cute boys in your class?" She gave up on that but I'm sure it's still there in her mind. Again, as long as you feel confident in what you're doing. Go for it. Know that your mom will always love you no matter what. Best of luck.

Answer 4

Tell her just what you told us, if she's cool, you can have a good talk.

Answer 5

DONT

it will ruin your life.

Answer 6

You said by yourself that you are quiet young, so why rushing things and hurry into confession, even if your mom is ok with the homosexuality, i think you should give your self time, and see if you are really curious or if you are really into girls.

life is way too long in front of you, live it step by step, don't need to hurry up, we re not in a marathon.When time comes, and you realise that you are a L*****n, then you tell your mom, then I m sure she won't tell a single word, because you will more mature, and older to realise what you are doing, i m sure she will support no matter what was you sexual orientatin.After all, parents are there to support us in all the situations.
