Oh, yeah, and I finally got around to coming out to my parents

It went something like this

Well done! I didn't know that you weren't yet out to them, and now you've taken That Step.

Thanks - it was easy to hide for a long time, living in another country and all - but it had to happen eventually

[sammason]

Please may I tell my equivalent story? Hope I'm not hijacking your thread.

Me: I'm a lesbian.
Mother: Oh I wouldn't do that if I were you, dear.
Me: I already have. She's called Ruth and she's got 2 kids.
Mother bridled and looked nonplussed. I don't remember what she said.

[farnam]

yes indeed. This is why I'd rather deal with kids than parents any day.

me a few years ago to Conor: I'm a lesbain.
Conor; Oh thank fuck you are finally admiting it
me: huh? what? why?
conor; your taste in men sucks. Whats for dinner?

Love and thoughts to you. x

[farnam]

thanks!

Hope you feel good about it now.

[farnam]

I do. A bit of a non-event really, I mean, I was so busy with work all day, I never even thought of it

Congrats! The idea of having equivalent conversations with my parents terrifies me!
