    You got major balls Asher, good job Glad to hear that it was uneventful. I've heard some parents actually disowning their children. WTF is that?

    As for me, hetero. Although sometimes my parents wonder if I'm homosexual cause I haven't had a stable girlfriend in years.

    Emphasis on 'stable'.

    Anyway, glad to hear you all-balls-ed it and things turned out for the best.

      If you are bisexual, why tell them at all? Just stick to girls. That would make more sense.

          Bods, go away. Forever. You've never shown any inclination or ability to understand anyone else on an emotional level and, as per usual, your advice isn't helpful or insightful in the slightest.
          Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

                Considering your track record with women, I'm surprised the idea never crossed your mind.

                Considering Asher just did an extremely difficult thing in coming out to his parents, your advice on "just stick to girls and don't tell anyone" is as helpful as a parka in the desert.

                  If it is difficult, why do it, since it's unnecessary. He could stick to girls.

                    Coming out is an incredibly difficult time - something many heterosexuals would be hard-pressed to understand.

                    The possibility that your loved ones may change their opinions of you completely and that you may be seen a certain way for the rest of your life is something many simply cannot overcome.

                    The again, my coming out to my parents wasn't exactly out of choice...

                      It's not unnecessary, it is difficult, and sticking to girls isn't the only option. The heart and loins don't make their decisions on the criteria of ease.

                      Honestly, have you ever faced a truly difficult moment in your life or are you just unable to have the slightest bit of empathy with another human being?

                        If Bods had a fraction of the courage it took Asher or any of us to come out to parents/family/friends, maybe he wouldn't be such a miserable ****.

                        Congrats, Ashie baby. Hard to believe you did it, right? I know that's how I felt. I think my parents had a similar reaction--cool as cucumbers on the outside, but not so easy with it at first. But they've gotten more used to it as time goes on. Mom still has the "but I want grandkids from you!" fits, but Dad is cool.

                        Big step!

                            Hiding behind the curtain of "the majority" is a pretty weak excuse to save yourself from facing up to other people's opinion of you.

                              I'm not hiding behind anything. Just saying that this site is not representative of people's true feelings towards gays.
