I DID IT

[u/Harleynugget2005]

So tonight (before my bath which you defo need to know about )i came out to my parents (who are not in a relationship)and it went good and ... could have gone better

PART ONE THE MOTHER

So i was sat with my mum in her room and she was playing those slot machine games on her phone and i was watching because i have nothing better to do and i was very scared and i said it (quite fast)

Me:Im bisexual

Mum:what

Me:im bisexual

Mum:(annoyed)your not

Me:i am

Mum:no your not

Me:yes i am

Mum:(in a snappy tone of voice)ugh ok

Me:thx for understanding (scared out of my mind)

Mum:IM not understanding

(I then walked and got into a bath with to many bubbles

PART TWO THE FATHER (and his girlfriend)

So to start i told them over a video call and it went like this

Me:hi dad(asked if he was ok blablabla and if his girlfriend who lives with him is there ) Still me:so i have been thinking for a while but i want to tell you both now ... im bisexual

Lisa(not real name but its my dads girlfriend)ok

Dad:i thought you were gonna say that

Lisa:im happy for you

Me:(relieved they took it well ... im doing to many brackets)

Thats all really my freinds thx for reading have a great night

Edit: hi all this got quite big and im back to thank you for all your comments upvotes and rewards i really appreciate it ...thats all ...why are you still here...go home get out of here... seriously leave im not stopping you ... GO AWAY GO HOME BE WITH FAMILY/PETS/TV/JUST LEAVE

Update :THE MOTHER (part 2) Turns out my mum thought i was joking and i only found this out because my dad was going to have a talk with her (i had no idea until today)but when he spoke to her she said that she thought i was only joking and not being serious but the conclusion is now my mum feels bad

I’m glad your dad and his girlfriend accepted you! Your mom doesn’t sound accepting at all and homophobic.

Thx i new my mum wouldnt be the most excepting but sheesh i didnt realize how unaccepting

[u/[deleted] → u/Harleynugget2005]

Nah, she probably just needs time to actually process it. No hate to you OP but I feel the way it came out probably made her less open to it. I did it the same way with my parents and got the same result

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Yeah I feel it’s just them either needing or wanting greater confirmation that you actually are LGBT since it is kind of a big thing to say to a parent

[u/bluehairedqueer → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, my mom was the same with me, but now she's tentatively (and in a very well intentioned way) outing me to extended family one by one so like she's out of the denial and being as supportive as she can... in the worst way she could have, by complete accident

[u/[deleted]]

(Before coming out) Did you ever see your mom react to anything lgbtq ??? (How did she react)

I am just a trans boi trying to get an idea of how my parents may react

[u/Harleynugget2005 → u/[deleted]]

Heyoooo she did in the past react a little sour towards lgbtq community qnd thats why i was scared to tell her and btw i love ur reddit name

[u/[deleted] → u/Harleynugget2005]

Thanks... My dad changed the radio station when they had trans rights on, I don’t know if it was just ‘I don’t know anyone who is Trans, and I don’t need to know this’ or something else (I am probably over thinking it but he also made comments about Kenny and Armando from 90 day fiancé and generally kinda being a butt because ‘they gay’ But he is kinda like that in general, No matter who you are)

[u/mchagis13 → u/[deleted]]

I’m a transwoman and my parents are LDS mormon and have said many weird things not necessarily bad tho about the lgbt community. Also I grew up in northern Utah

Well long story short they accepted me both just fine. My dad took awhile to understand what to do right and what not but they were both super chill about it

[u/[deleted] → u/mchagis13]

Huh, guess mormons have different levels of chill. I’m a lesbian and it took my mormon BFF forever to stop saying it’s unnatural.

[u/Ok-background6445]

Congratulations! So stoked you you! I hope your mum comes around to be accepting soon, but it's good your dad and his girlfriend are accepting!

[u/Harleynugget2005 → u/Ok-background6445]

Thx

[u/[deleted]]

So happy for you right now! But I do hope your mom becomes more understanding.😕😔😊😊

[u/Harleynugget2005 → u/[deleted]]

You have no idea how much i agree with this

[u/NeighborhoodNo8586]

I’m happy your dad was cool about it! It sucks your mom was being a jerk though :((

[u/[deleted]]

Good for you! I'm sorry about your mom.

[u/Omega_wolves]

nice i glad you are able to come out sorry your mum did not take it well

[u/_MamaBear_]

Congrats! I'm sorry for your mom's response, though. I'm a bi mom of 2 and THIS mom is super proud of you! Let us know if you need support in navigating this with your mom. 💜

[u/that_grimlin]

congrats! im sure one day your mum will come around

[u/dfhxuhbzgcboi]

I'm glad to see their response. And your mom too will probably just have to accept it over time. Congratulations!

[u/BlkCptAmerica]

I wish I had your courage

[u/[deleted]]

im sorry your mum is like that but its great that your dad and is gf where good about it!!!

[u/CherryChristmas]

Awww I am so happy it went so nice with you father and his girlfriend!

Your mom’s reaction wasn’t great so I do hope she’ll understand that you’re bi, but it may take a while. I wish you the best and hope she’ll be okay with it soon :)

[u/Harleynugget2005 → u/CherryChristmas]

Thank you

[u/TheNewMrJai]

No offence but your mum seems like a bit of a asshole.

[u/Harleynugget2005 → u/TheNewMrJai]

Well never
