Sounds like your mother and mine need to hang out, G. She used to set me up on blind dates, buy me porn and sex toys, and when I came out to her, she said "...and remember, honey, they really like it when you lick their balls. But...no teeth. Ever."
I don't suppose your mother is *also* a young, ex-trampy, 70s-stoner/pornstar-like fag hag, is she? :)
no. But Im in shock right now, so I really can't give a straight answer.
Poor thing. *pats your head and consoles you* It's tough to deal with having a cool mom, but you'll get used to it.

My mom after I came out:
"We [My dad and she] thought about it, and we don't think it is best to disown you."
And that was a GOOD reaction.
Be glad for a mom who buys you stuff. Just keep telling us the stories, cause they're damn funny.
Wow. What do you say to that?
Ouch.
I fear a similar reaction. I think my dad may push for the disowning...
I feel really bad for anyone who isn't loved and supported by their parents.
Life is tough enough without that crap.
Not everyone is as lucky as you, b12. But you have different family struggles.
I confess that I'm overreacting to something posted on another thread, by someone no one would expect could upset me.
I know I'm lucky, Rath, all family struggles aside.
But rather than gloat or "feel special" about my supportive folks, it really makes me ANGRY when I hear anyone else is deprived of it. I get very upset (even agressively so!) at the parents of the world who don't realize what they're doing to their kids.
Who's upsetting you? And why? 'Fess up!
Sorry, I won't name names.

On a good note, my parents (while still not supportive) have come around quite a bit, and I only anticipate that their loving nature combined with more education will soon lead them to grasp some sort of understanding.
touchmeinthemorning --- so glad to hear that.
*sigh*
At least they're trying to understand, and it sounds like you're trying to understand them, as well. All very good.
Give them time and patience... which it sounds like you're already doing.
And, Rathy, didn't mean to put you on the spot.
I'd share my parents with all of you if I could...they might be slightly batty, but they're the most wonderful set of folks I reckon any boy could have.
*luv to Mommy and Daddy*
No worries, b12. Somedays I'm even more childish than others.
JG -- very cool.
And it's very cool that you recognize it, as well.
"Somedays I'm even more childish than others."--Rathy
...And that would make you different than the rest of us HOW?
*puts on diapers and sucks thumb, with sour expression*
I'm so glad I married you.
If indeed I did...
...I THINK so.
It's all a blurry, gin-soaked haze.
Isn't every night?
Damn you Rath..you're a WHORE !!!!
*runs*
I'm lucky, b12b, that my mother will always be supportive, no matter what I do. I know that.
My father, however, is another story.
He doesn't like sons, and he's a homophobe. I can see our relationship is only going to improve...

I wish I could give my parents to you guys. They're incredibly supportive and tolerant, but it's not getting used since all of their children are straight.
Here's how my parents found out....
There was a guy who I was seeing and he was over, and convinced my parents we were just friends. So one night my mom was just like "Wow! You know what i never thought? Why dont you date Gino's sister, Christina? Youre good looking and I would love you as a son in law."
Without skipping a beat, and before I could cover his mouth, he was just like "But Im gay and me and your SON are seeing eachother." He thought this was funny but my house has never been soo silent in my entire life. lol
