Based off Tyler's thread - What would your parents do...

[imabrat]

if you revealed you were gay, lesbian, trans-sexual, bi-sexual, or questioning?
This isn't meant to debate what is right or what is wrong, but how would someone react.

Some of you may be GLBTQ, and if you have come out, maybe you can share your stories?

--------------------

My mom would be absolutely fine with it. She says, whatever makes you happy, do it. As long as it is not illegal or addictive. (IE drugs, alcohol)
She'd rather me be with someone of my same sex who treats me good, than with a man who abuses me.

My dad OTOH wouldn't take it so well. He really isn't fond of the whole GLBTQ thing. (Read - he doesn't like gays or lesbians) No doubt, I think he would seperate and distance himself from me. He's done it to his own brother.

I think [and I would hope] that my parents would be supportive of me. They've always been supportive in whatever I do. I'm not exactly sure where they stand on the subject, but I would hope they would be okay with it.

 

[Babyjustrun]

I think...
My mother would be disturbed at first, she doesn't like GLBTQ PDA...
But I mean really, I don't think she'd care. I'm her child, she'd lover me no matter what, and I don't think it would bother her that much. She has several friends at work who are gay (men), and I don't think she has a problem with it.

I have no idea if my dad would care or not. I've never heard him speak about it. He'd probably be disturbed or confused at first, but yeah.

 

[BabyPiglet]

My mom would probably tell me I didn't know what I was saying. If she ever decided to believe me, I don't know how she'd act. I know she doesn't agree with the whole GLBTQ thing but I'm not sure she disagrees with it enough to like..disown me.

My dad...I don't know. Sometimes he's completely accepting of gay people and other times he's not.

The rest of my family would disown me, no doubt. Except a select few of my cousins perhaps.

Hmmmm that is tough, but I would hope that my parents would support me in my lifestyle decision. I think my Dad would be easier to handle the news then my Mom though as I am her only girl, well and my brother is her only boy, but I know in her little mind she is already thinking in the back of her head about wedding dress shopping and helping planning my wedding. =)

You could still get married ya know.

 

[princesskelz]

My mother would shoot me! than tell me its wrong and not what god wanted. to some extent i am for Gay/Lesbian relationships. one of my best friends is gay and i have an uncle that is gay.

 

[Beach Bum]

Yea , I could but I think in my moms eye a more tradition wedding would be appropriate. In the long run though she would support me, I guess.

 

[amloveaffair]

One of my very very best friends [whom I met on here many years ago] is a transexual and is transitioning to become a man. I love him [previously her] more than words can say. No matter what. You shouldn't judge the person by the outside or by something that doesn't affect you.

 

[Disney.Ears]

My parents wouldn't like it. Whatsoever.
It's not something that's ever happened in my family, so I don't know how everyone would react. But I know it wouldn't be a positive one.

 

[PurpleDucky]

My mom probably wouldn't care. I have no clue what my dad will say, he's so predictable yet at the same time he's not.

 

[PurpleDucky]

Double post.

 

[Tinkerbell424]

My mom would support me. I don't think she would enjoy the PDA though.
I don't know what my dad would think, and I honestly would not care.

My family..some would disown me, others would still love me. I have two gay cousins, and one of them is married. They are so fun to be around!

 

[KitKat_Tink]

I would be disowned....

Pretty much they are completly against it

 

[AmandaSparks730]

Ok, it seems that I'm the only one here (so far) that has a story to tell.

It was February 6, 2008.

I couldn't hold it in anymore.

I just...told them.

Mom was like "You mean...you like girls?"
Me: Yes *starts crying a bit*
Mom: How long has this been going on?
Me: A long time now...I talked to Aly about it...she's a lesbian, so she knows what I'm going through...
Mom: Why are you crying?
Me: I...don't know.
Mom: You know we still love you.
Me: I know...

Dad didn't say a thing. Not a word. Stared straight ahead.

They're more accepting now (although Mom gave me the third degree about my "friendship" with Aly; I denied any relationship with her.)

So...yeah.

 

[::Snow_White::]

I honestly I have no idea what they would say.
I think they'd be shocked at first, but they would be fine with it.
But that's just a guess.

 

[Meep]

When I told my mother that I was bisexual, she didn't care. My father comes from a religious family so he was a bit upset when I told him, but he still loves me and supports me anyways. As for the rest of my family, I don't know. Some might disown me though... It wouldn't surprise me.

My friends don't care that much either... Except for a chosen few who are against it. I actually told Kayla during the movie Sweeney Todd. She didn't care.

 

[imabrat]

bump.
anyone else?

 

[ComfyinNautica]

Mine have always made it clear that they wouldn't care. It would be an awkward situation though, because it's difficult to have serious conversations with them because we're all sarcastic and joke around all the time.

 

[DisneyCheshire]

I don't know what my mom and dad would say. They're not even supportive about me with a boyfriend. But I know my mom loves me so she'd probably be happy if I was happy. I don't know how they'd react but they surely wouldn't be surprised..
