re: hatred

think, when I came out to my parents in a 24 page missive from college, they called me and both seemed ok. Keyword...SEEMED.
My dads concern was that it can be a very lonely life...I thought what the heck you talking about, I'm getting laid every night...(I was so young and foolish).
It was only when I hit maybe 35 that I found the truth out.....that he had known for awhile before I told them, and that my mother, Ms. Liberal School-Principal (at the time) was so horrified that she threatened never to talk to me again. My dad had to sit her down and saw....'do you NEVER want to see him again?"
She was, apparently totally angry. She has come a long way, and she adores my partner.
To have a parent be ok from the start is so wonderful for you....

re: hatred

ARGH, I just wrote a response to this and then it decided I wasn't really logged in. It said 'thank you for your response', too - I don't think I want to know where it ended up.

I hadn't realized quite how lucky I am. It was hard enough to come out to myself, and it would have been miserable to then face opposition from my parents.
Do you think there's a difference in parents' reactions if it's their daughter or son coming out to them? My mom said she'd probably have been more worried if my brother had been gay - not less accepting, just more worried about what he'd have to face.

feinstein9, I hope your mom eventually realizes that she can't just love *almost* all of you.

re: hatred

Glad to hear all your good news, Think! Glad you told your mom, glad she accepts you and glad you stood up to your ignorant classmate. All I can add to all the good advice is that it only gets easier as you get older. Some day you'll laugh that you went through all this drama.

And I've found that anyone who hates lesbians is just jealous-- Lesbians rule!
