How did you come out to your parents?
My mom was forcing me to go to the doctor's office to get the contraceptive pill because she suspected that I was having sexual relations with guys at my age. I'm 16. She brought me there and the doctor said that it was unnecessary to put me on the pill if I wasn't having any sexual relations. We were in the car on our way back home when I told her.
What did you say?
As she was asking me a million questions about sex, the need to tell her about my first girlfriend (of 2 weeks at the time) built up inside of me.
Her: Have you ever had sex?
Me: No.
Her: Have you ever done stuff with a guy?
Me: No.
Her: Are you lying?
Me: No.
Her: I don't believe you.
Me. ...
Her: Do you have a boyfriend?
Me: No..... I'm going out with Julia (fake name).
Her: Excuse me?
Me: Julia is my girlfriend.
Her: ...
And then she asked me a bunch of questions like: "Are you completely sure? Why women? Please don't tell me you like boys too, that's gross"
And she also added that she hopes that I'll one day realize that I like men better and that we're not allowed to sleep in the same bed...
She seemed disappointed.
Advice
- Well, at least she didn't kick me out of the house.
- I should have stayed longer in the car when we arrived home and made her understand that I will not go back to men.. and that she should accept me the way I am.
- We get along well... I think she's accepting it more now.
