Love: About that...

About that...

By Gay younger brother - 30/06/2018 01:30

Today, my brother came out to our parents. They weren't super happy with it, but they said that it was ok since they still had a straight son. I don't know how to tell them that I'm gay too. FML

Casual homophobia

By GuyWhoCameOutFinally - 25/10/2022 16:00 - Netherlands - Eindhoven

Today, I came out to my parents and siblings as gay. They were very accepting and asked me why I waited until I was 25 to do so. I didn't have the heart to tell them it was their own homophobic remarks that kept me closeted since I realized it at 14, and that a previous coming-out to a parent was dismissed as 'a phase'. FML

Today, my brother came out to our family as being gay. My mother starting crying because she "wanted grandchildren." I told her that I was planning on having children. She started crying harder. FML

Today, I came out to my parents as lesbian. Surprisingly, they were OK with it… just as long as I still marry a dude, give them grandbabies, and keep the whole lesbian thing a deep, dark, shameful secret that we never talk about again. FML

Today, after being supportive for nearly a year, my brother finally came out of the closet and introduced the family to his new boyfriend. His new boyfriend happens to be my ex-boyfriend. Guess I know why that didn't work out now. FML

Today, I came out to my parents. Their response was basically, "Oh, you’re coming out? But we’ve known for years. It was obvious, so obvious we never knew you were in the closet in the first place." FML

Today, I learned that despite having told them two years ago, my parents still aren't accepting of me being gay. I found this out when my mom called and asked if I was "cured" yet. FML

Today, I got a text from my cousin saying that he's gay. I was thrilled and told him that I'm bisexual. He later texted me saying that his friend took his phone and said that. He also told all of our relatives. I accidentally came out to my family. FML

Tell them that you're gay, tell them that they shouldn't judge you, your brother, or anyone else for being gay, and then tell them that they should love their sons unconditionally.

Well, you might wanna ask, "are you saying I'm getting a little brother?!" and then let them figure it out.

You should go up to your parents and say "you know how you're okay with him being gay because you still have a straight son? Does that mean we have another brother we don't know about? " Then slowly walk backwards out of the room as their faces change from confused to understanding that you are gay too.

Don't worry; your parents will be ok with the idea...as long as they get grandchildren. So...wait until your brother begins the adoption/surrogate mom/weird hippy option procedure to get children, I guess. If it takes too long, try it yourself.

What they think shouldn't bother you. Tell them the truth and be proud of it. If they're upset, you have the upper hand. Get mad.

Wtf with all the parents who think their children owe them some grandchildren? Doesn't matter how their sexuality is, they can still choose whether they want to have children or not. It's none of the parents business.
