LGBTQIA+ and Love: Not coming out

Not coming out

By HidenSeek - 08/05/2009 01:39 - United States

Today, my mom and I were watching this movie in which some girls start making out. My mother called them "sinners" claiming they'll "burn in hell twice". Then she said, "God doesn't like gays." I'm a lesbian. I picked out this movie as a way of coming out. FML

Overreaction much?

Today, I was watching a movie that had a mild sex scene in it. My mother walked in just as that scene was starting and she flipped out. I'm now grounded. She's taken my TV and laptop out of my room and refuses to let me see my boyfriend because she's sure he's the cause of my "disgusting behaviour". FML

Today, my mom barged into my room, threw 5 boxes of condoms at me, then said, "So you don't get pregnant". She still hasn't accepted the fact that I'm a lesbian. FML

Today, my mom tried to convince my dad that I was a lesbian. Why? Because she was bored. FML

Today, I finally decided to tell my parents I was a lesbian. They spent the next few hours reading me the bible. FML

Today, at 18, I finally told my mom I was gay. She spent the rest of the day bringing up my "future wife" at every possible chance she had. FML

Today, I came out to my mom. I had an epic speech planned, and when I tried to tell her, it all fell apart and I started crying and just said, "I'm gay." After a few seconds silence, my mom sighs and says, "Duh." FML

Today, I found out that my mother has been telling everybody that I’m a lesbian, because both of her best friends have at least one gay child each, and she was feeling left out. This explains why people have been treating me differently the last few weeks. FML

Today, I finally thought that my mother was okay with me being a lesbian. Then, over dinner, she turns to me and says, "So, do you still think you like girls, or are you going to start being normal again?" FML

Today, my mom called me into the living room to say that she had something important to tell me. She then explained how she and my dad had "talked things over" and wanted me to know that they accept me and love me no matter what. Apparently my mom thinks I'm lesbian. I'm not. FML

Today, I came out to my mom as a lesbian. She told me that it was impossible, because since she isn't one, she therefore couldn't have given birth to one. She still won't believe me. FML

I'm sorry Homophobes, even homophobes that you're related to, are a pain in the ass Don't pay any attention to what your Mom says (however hard that may be) and good luck coming to your other friends/family/etc.

You should've said "I bet God doesn't like bigots either"

My friend did a similar thing. He was watching Rent with his mom and when Angel and Collins kissed she said "ew" and he turned to her and said "This is why I haven't come out to you yet." I'm sorry your mom had such a negative reaction before you even had a chance to come out.

Propose a conundrum to her. If God loves all his creatures, and you are one of God's creatures, then God must love you. You are gay, and God hates gays (apparently) - God must hate you. How can God both love you and hate you? Why would God create a person to hate? That's not a very nice God. Isn't God eternally good? It's also a sin to eat meat on Friday. Go fig.

does mom know that the bible says love thy neighbor? accept people for who they are...? does she know by condemning people to hell she is sinning. and in the eye of god a sin by lying to someone is just as bad as a sin of killing a person. therefore your mom is also going to burn in hell twice for not loving thy neighbor... damn. that bible is tricky tricky.

#17 Whats more fun than poking the hardcore Christians? ;-) Yes, the bible is tricky in these sorts of things. I'm no Christian myself. But from what I gather from speaking to others who are religulous (intentionally spelt before anyone says anything) is that only god/gods can judge someone and that it doesn't actually say much about gays or lesbians in the bible. These prejudges that some claim are a sin against god are peoples own prejudges. And claiming something to be an affront to their religion makes them no better than people who justify stoning/killing/terrorising by saying it is done in the name of their respective god/gods. But thats just my opinion.
