Answer 1

UK answer,

As the devilishly handsome Ted Pack has already  said they sent your question to the wrong forum, I really wish you luck with the news, but no matter what your sexuality your family love you as the person you are, hope it goes well.

Answer 2

The automatic category picker saw "Family" and suggested Genealogy, the study of family trees. Most of us are straight. Warm, wise, witty, well-read, gracious, tolerant and devilishly handsome, but straight.

There is a category in which you might get more answers from first-hand experience:

Home>

Society & Culture >

Cultures & Groups >

LGB&T

Best of luck, with answers and with your family. Most of us will be rooting for love over prejudice. I will be.

Answer 3

It's a curious question. I always wondered why people agonize so much over it. It's not like heterosexuals get into great detail about their s*x lives with their parents. As a mom, my feeling is "it is what it is...as long as you're safe and healthy, I'm happy for you."

My 21 year old stepdaughter came out to us three years ago. It wasn't made into anything big. Her brother yelled out, "you're so g*y" and she yelled back "yeah, so what if I am?" From then on, the tension was gone and she talked about it when she wanted to. But we don't discuss her s*x life with her anymore than we discuss s*x with the other kids. Like most parents, we taught the birds and the bees. If you have questions, come talk. If you don't, we assume life is good.

Don't agonize over it. Just make it a natural part of your life and don't feel that there's anything to hide. It is what it is. And before you think we're super special parents with no hangups, we're Midwestern Orthodox Christians living in redneck Detroit. But we're parents first and our kids are our life. We wouldn't let sexual experimentation in one of our kids come between us and the person we love.

Answer 4

just tell them - whats the worst they can actually do ?  

Answer 5

my niece told her mom who is very religious. there were arguments, but in the end love prevailed. You can't hide love and can't deny your feelings. Just approach your family in love and let them know you are still YOU. Stay up!
