so I've known for awhile I was bi now, even in elementary school I would get innocent crushes on a girl. but back then i was ashamed of it. now i'm not, I would like to tell my dad and I know he'd be supportive. however my mom is a HXC CATHOLIC. she's said stuff before like, being gay is a sin. and that it's wrong. and that people choose weather they're straight or not. i know she'd still love me if she knew but i'd probably get shit about it. should i still tell or no?
I guess what i mean is, I want my dad to know. me and my mom aren't close, but if i tell my dad i might have to tell my mom to.
i'd tell that bitch just to see how she reacts to it. i seriously hate the people that think homosexuality is a sin probably more than anyone else....other peoples' sexuality does NOT involve you (if you don't want it to) so WHY THE FUCK do you care? it's the same mentality of people that don't smoke but think it is the devil's plant. if you want to tell your dad, you should. especially if you think he'd be supportive. maybe it could give your mom a nice little shock into reality that it isn't her business
maybe you should tell your dad and ask him if u shud tell ur mom. im in the same situation as you but ive told only my closest friend
Be who you are, and be proud of it... If your mother has an issue with it, that is her issue... If you want a different way to think of it... how will she ever be able to grow into the type of person who can accept you for who you are if you don't give her the chance?
Tell him, only thing that says its wrong is groups of people following ficton stories to comfort them and make them un afraid to die.
I was watching the doors movie and she was like, "what is that? What kind of an influence is that on you?" I'm 18 bitch I can watch what I want! >:3
Don't depend on others opinions to guide your life--even parents. Parents can be ignorant just like anyone. Live as you see fit. Remember--dead is a long time-enjoy life while you have it.
I don't remember the exact words, and couldn't find the quote, but Harvey Milk once said something akin to 'if every homosexual came out, the civil rights movement would be over' Since he's so much more eloquent, let me give you a quote I could find: Gay brothers and sisters,... You must come out. Come out... to your parents... I know that it is hard and will hurt them but think about how they will hurt you in the voting booth! Come out to your relatives... come out to your friends... if indeed they are your friends. Come out to your neighbors... to your fellow workers... to the people who work where you eat and shop... come out only to the people you know, and who know you. Not to anyone else. But once and for all, break down the myths, destroy the lies and distortions. For your sake. For their sake. For the sake of the youngsters who are becoming scared by the votes from Dade to Eugene. - Harvey Milk Coming out as bi could be just the awakening your mom needs to realize it's real people that she is talking about.
agree - my sister-in-law is gay and while her father has no problem with that her mother took a lot longer to come to terms with it. Maybe it's a mother/daughter thing more. Even with being religious, Catholic - look at all the priest and child abuse etc. - there's nohing new sexually in this world, she'll come to terms with it. Go with your father's advice. simon
we don't know you or your parents, so you're the only one here who can really answer this question. my best guess is to go with the person who said to tell dad and see how he feels about telling mom. well she probably cares because it's her daughter. even if your kids' mistakes don't directly affect you, you generally would rather they don't make those mistakes (and if you truly believe that homosexuality is a sin, then you would see it as a mistake).
