Those that did not love me for me did not love me in the first place. Who needs them? That includes family!

Yes i'm Gay!!
I found out who my true friends were when i came out 1year ago. My family knew after a couple of months after. It was in an arguement over me talking to a guy who was gay and that at the time i was dating. My mom took the phone from me and was calling him a queer and i yelled at her that he was my bf and i was gay. She started hystarically crying. She sent me to counseling and they all said it was her not me, right now she has me going to a pshycologist. My friends and I and other parents hate her for it, but she is my mom and I still love her just like she still loves me. I only have 2 more years left in her house and then I am sayin later and living my life the way I want to.
Wether she agrees with it or not it is MY life and I am the way I am and will not change for anybody!!

I am Bi... my husband accepts this now and even jokes about it sometimes. The only other people in my family that know are my mom and brother. They both accept me for who i am, but my mom is happy i am with a man. My friends have always known, Some of my male friends used to pretend to go on a date with me so i could go out with my girlfriend.

Yeah, most of us here are gay/lesbian.
I was one of the really lucky ones. My friends and family were all supportive and loving. Nothing changed for me, except that I think many of my relationships became closer once I came out.
My partner had a bit of a different experience. Her Mother made her promise to never tell her Father or brother. Because of this, we live several states away from her family.
Although she did later come out to her Father's half brother and his wife. (Her Uncle) and they've been great!! Wonderfully supportive and welcoming of myself and our son. My son gained a whole new branch to his family.

well, since you posted this in the LGBT forum, yes, most of us here are. and, why do you assume that there was pain? I mean, sure, there are some who's family and friends didn't take it too well, but not all of us. I have a wonderful woman who loves me, and my family, friends and coworkers accept me for who I am. I couldn't be happier!

Yep.
The "pain" wasn't any worse than anything else I've gone through. Life is funny that way, you will eventually learn your "family" isn't limited by being related to you by blood. Your family will accept you, regardless whether they are related to you or not.

I'm bi and the I've only told my male friends. They seem to think it's cool. My bf at first he was like "Man you're gay that's embarrassing" but I mean now he is fine w/ it, but he also thought I was pretending and just copying others. He's an asshole lol. And I'm still kinda closeted when it comes to telling my mom and my female friends. B/C they talk about it sometimes and be like it's sooooo disgusting. And I'm like wow I can't tell them. So being that I'm bi I can relate to them when they talk about dudes, I just put the girls aside but I still check them out lol. I'll tell them one day, just not today!

Did you grow up to be a dentist or lawyer like your parents wanted you to?,, they still accept you for what job you chose, so most will accept you for your other lifesyle choices too.. Family does not always accept your bride or hubby, so they may or may not accept you life partner either.
