D i am really glad for you. i know you have heard that so much lately, but, it still sounds good right. now i am also 100% strait as well and hey what does a guy with such a queer outlook on things know anyways, right. Ha ha ha it is a joke there. Having the support of some one so prominate in your family is some thing that i am sure you are so very happy about. I am glad for you to have such a heavy thing off of your mind. have a great time with your new open life now that it is out there.

You said it all.
To be honest, I didnt expect this type of reaction.
At its heart, this site is a support group, you dont often see that on some of these threads filled with exaggerated size claims, etc. but hey, I met my man here and so many, many good and loyal friends; and tonight I feel there's still hope for this forum.

I too am thrilled for you. When I had children I always told myself I'd raise them to realize I'd love them no matter what so they wouldn't have to live a minute of their lives not being who they were meant to be. I'm glad you were able to tell and have a great reaction. I hope you enjoy your new found freedom to be who you are. Have a wonderful time when your man gets there:biggrin1:

Well glad you made the phone call, and it turned out well. Some of us never make that phone call or are estranged from family for that reason, or other reasons.

:up: :hug:

My parents have been gone for quite a long time now, and my older brother for a year. I'm glad I came out to them in the mid 70s. Those times were not as open as these. There was some awkwardness at first (particularly with my father), but we worked through it. With regard to my sexuality, our final years together were real; no more wondering for them, no more worrying for me. It worked for us. I know we can only speak for ourselves.... Glad it's working for DC9.

Good for you. I consider myself st8 (and curious) but I see nothing wrong with people whose sexual preferences are different. No parent should hesitate to support their child's choice in matters of sexual orientation. You seem very happy and I think so is your mom.

yEAH! Enjoy your live now without that burdon. I really think that mothers always know if their children are gay. I also think they wait to be told by their children. I really feel sorry for people that have lost their families because their parents couldn't accept it. Someday, maybe, the all loving religious people will come to love us equally.

thanks for the comment

Yes my dad is in his 80's and mom in her 70's I am glad I finally told them.
thanks
