Have any of you told your parents that you are bi/gay/lesbian?
If you have, how did you go about doing it and did it work out okay?

Yeah I haven't told my friends or family >.>
Yeah, my mother knows, that's it.
I do not discuss my love life (or lack thereof) with anyone in real life.
how did she react?Quote:

Omg I think I'm gay, I take an hour to do my hair and even then I take a mirror into school to do the rest of it through English and Maths and P.E... Then I'm widening my eyes and everything, all I acre about is looks, that's more metrosexuality, but yeah... Everyone thinks I'm gay too but I never get bullied, they more laugh at all the crazy hairstyles I end up doing xxx
meh, I'll probs be Bi when I'm older :///
This really is not the thread to complain. If you re-read the title and the introduction post you will get the correct idea. I know plenty of straight people who act like that. Anyway please stay on topic.Quote:

Yeah, I do actually think I am gay/bi though...
Love babeh, can you feel it? (Well, maybe not over the internet, unless... O.o)
Anyway, I'm Gay/Bi... But no, not planning on telling my parents...
Yeah I have.... Told all my friends and cousins etc first and then told my mum.
She funnily said "Does that mean you don't like girls anymore"... I said state the obvious :P
When I told my parents my mum said "How do you know?". What a stupid thing to say ^^.
Haha, why did you choose to tell friends and cousins first though?Quote:

Yes, I've told my parents.
how did it go?Quote:

My friends pretty much guessed :P, Mostly because i act like a complete Pansy irl
Yet parents dont know :L
Mum will say Now and then: 'So hows this boyfriend of girlfriend'
My college tutor says that aswell :P
I haven't discusses sexuality with any of my parents, I'd probably tell my mum as soon as I was definite I was gay or bisexual :)

same. im bi and i havent told anyone. My mum would be okay with it but she also has the biggest mouth ever and she would defo go tell him even if it was an accident. Oh well, it's not exactly a secret that's chewing me up inside. I don't mind staying in this closet, it's quite cosy.Quote:

no, denying your sexuality to yourself or others is the worst option.Quote:

anyway yeah everyone else is comfortable with it and sometimes make jokes but they're not nasty like the other girl which is funny considering she's the one with the lesbian stepsister and gay bestfriend:rolleyes: she says stupid stuff like"don't wear a short skirt jennifer will get turned on" but she forgets i can be just as nasty;) we're no longer friends anyway due to her saying i go with too many guys... can't really win with her |-)
i don't make it a big deal incase it does freak people out, they ask "would u do her" thinking i fancy everyone - i do have standards ;l but with my guy friends i won't hesitate, they're more than comfortable with it:P i don't think guys care as much as girls
haven't told my mum, not gonna till i know for sure. i don't think the rest of my family will be very happy especially my racist, homophobic dad and grandparents but i'm really not bothered if my mums fine with it i'm fine. when my nephew was born she said "thankgod i got one grandchild" everyone used to think my brother (his gf had the baby) was gay lool
