Growing up, my mom and I spent lots of time in the car, traveling to see family. We tended to move a lot and our family was always hours and hours away. So this was our time to talk and catch up with each other. So naturally, when I was being picked on about being gay, we talked about it. This started at an early age and I always denied it. But the talk with mom was always, “You know if you are gay, I would love you anyway.” My response of course was “I AM NOT GAY!!” That would end the conversation and then we would move on to something else.
Years later when I finally came out to my friends and began dating men, I thought it was time to tell mom. So again, on a trip to see family I started out with, “Mom I have some bad news.” Concerned, she asked what, and I began to tell her about how I was in a car accident and I left the scene and that the other person was injured pretty bad. I went on about how I was being sued and it wasn’t looking good. Naturally my mom was upset and concerned, but was totally supportive and wanted to help no matter what. Finally when I had her totally engulfed, and pretty emotional, I looked at her and said, “Mom, I am just kidding, I am gay.” That is when she slapped me and asked why I would do that? My response was, “Well I figured if you could love me when I almost killed someone, being gay couldn’t be that bad.”
She stopped the car and said, “Like I said before, I love you no matter what.”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
You’re a dick.
I would have slapped you at least twice.
Hey no name calling….haha. Ok never mind you can. Hey I had to make sure I was in the clear. haha.
And Nathan, you threaten me with this slap everytime we talk now. So abusive.
I know the feeling! I didn’t come out for the longest, after seeing how my parents took ‘the announcement’ from my brother and sister! I kinda figured that they didn’t tell me what they did in bed, so what the hell business did they have inquiring into my sex life? Now that I’m in a relationship, he’s not invited ‘cuz he’s ‘not family’ LOL
