It's a different ballgame in Europe. There are still people that don't like gays or lesbians but homosexuality is pretty much accepted. Some celebrities, some gov officials and who knows who else but it's no big deal and no one gets radical about it here in Germany. A couple of my co-workers are gay and a couple of my old school friends are gay. They don't hold it against me because I'm hetero and I don't hold it against them that they are gay. I guess though, it can get pretty tricky dealing with parents.
Look at your last comment. If you are so with it, why are you calling somebody else jerks? About the catholic clergy, evidently you don't do much reading or keep up with the news. What was one of the main themes the pope himself commented about? Your eyes are brown. Tell mommy it's time to change your diaper.
He's an American. And in the military. And a conservative. See? Just like you - only not an asshole.
By the way ... when I first saw your name "Drgnfli" - I thought you were probably a 16-year-old girl. Another lesson learned on why you shouldn't be judgmental. Now, if only YOU could learn the same.

I don't have kids - and I call 'em as I see 'em. And, foul mouth or not, I'm a hell of a lot more mature than you. "Grow up & mind your own business"? That's a coward's comment. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion - and that's what this website is all about. Since you only seem interested in your own opinion - get a blog.
i am 17, and told my mum and dad recently that i was gay.
What i did first, was to test them. i told my mum about my 'freind' who was very close to his mum and that she had taken it very badly when he had told them. (this also gave me an excuse to sneak out of the house and see my borfriend, but thats not the point!)
i am sure you van think up something better than i did, but if you want any advice/ a chat, feel free to contact me.
Your question asks "How"...your answers "yes or no" does not answer the question. Yes, you should and you should just come right out with it - direct and to the point.

Yes - my son told me when he was 18 and I simply told him how much I love him. We discuss things openly in our house - hope it goes smooth for you.
When you are ready--just tell them. It wont get any easier.
I don't know how to answer this with yes or no as the choices given??

No Guts - No Glory! Just tell them. Then join the catholic church and become a priest.
No, you think they'll be glad to hear that? Just move to San Francisco and tell them "to be near my friends" (they'll understand the connection).

[1 point] 2 years ago by deleted user ReplyThank you for not conversing with me anymore. You, my dear person, just made my day.
The question starts with HOW. Remove the word how next time, or give us choices. Should you tell them? Yes. You will know when the time is right.
