GodsGift2Writing answered Tuesday October 14 2008, 8:30 pm: When i came out to my parents, my girlfriend and i were together for about 7 months. She came over my house and we were "celebrating". When my dad unexpectedly walked in, i was caught in the middle of kissing her. Now, keep this in mind, my father is without a doubt one of the biggest homophobes in the world. no joke. So, of course right away he freaked out and started screaming and told us to wait downstairs until her mom came to pick her up. It was devistating. When she left, he and my mom sat down with me and he fought with me about it. That next day, we talked again and he told me he loved me no matter what i did and that even though he disagrees with it, i would always be his daughter. My mom instantly accepted me and my girlfriend from day one, but thats a different story. Since then, its been about 4 months and my dad has been gradually accepting it one step at a time. Anyway, the point is that i had no idea how he would react when i told him. I feared the worst, and it wasn't nearly as bad as i imagined it could be..so i realized that when people say their parents' reactions when they come out are totally different from what you expect, they're right. I've also learned this however, you only really get one chance to tell them. The perfect time, and when it comes, you'll know it, and act on it. but until then, dont rush yourselves into telling anyone until you both know you are ready. And as your friends go, they will accept you as you are now matter which gender you like, if they really care about you, they wont judge you. Good luck, and i really hope it goes well!
