I've read this a few times since I joined as I love reading it. Makes me feel good and I am really happy your parents reacted the way they did. I wish all parents would, though not all of them do. Luckily, mine were as awesome about it.
Coming out story

wow, great stories guys. I was sort of forced to come out last year when my little brother walked in on me and my boyfriend and saw us making out. I knew he couldnt keep a secret so me and my bf decided to come clean and talk to our parents about it. They were way supportive and so were most of my friends, not all of em, but most. yeah is different for everybody

I told my older brother about it first but he wasn't surprised. He also said that our parents probably won't be surprised. This was at a time when I would have regular sleepovers with my one friend. So when I talked to my parents that both said they kind of already knew that lol. So it was easy for me. But my parents would often say as we were growing up that their love was unconditional and feel free to talk to them about anything. Pretty awesome parents btw.

I was and am quite fortunate as well. When I told them, they were really supportive and already knew. Our folks know more about us than we recognize I think.

Kara, that was a nice story you shared with us. I am very glad that it worked out so well for you.

I'm like some people here - I was nervous about coming out, but when I did, pretty much everyone I talked to about it already suspected (so I couldn't help but thinking, "Dang, was I that obvious?"), so there wasn't too much trouble with it (we did have to explain to my youngest brother what "gay" was, since he was like 8 at the time).

I think some people suspected before I came out, but I guess I first came out officially when my dad walked in on me and my boyfriend while we were having sex. I decided to come out to some other family and friends (my mom first) not long after that.

I hope your parents were accepting and supportive.

Yeah, fortunately they were, although it was really awkward being around my dad for a while afterwards (still kinda is a bit, honestly).
