I'm still curious whether there still discrimination going on to people in third s*x.. In your family, do you still hide it from others. How did you accept it? I being one I'm not sure if I'm accepted or not, since I'm still not telling it to my family.

I myself am gay. I'm still not really sure if my family accepts me or not, and I know how you feel. It took me a long time to tell my family that I am gay. I know my grandmother really doesn't accept me no matter how much she says she does I still don't believe it. She is constantly talking bad about my girlfriend, and telling me that she is bad news. I got lucky and all of my friends accept me and love me for who I am. My mom says she loves me for who I am but I know she is disappointed in me.

So you mean you already told your family that your gay? How do they treat you after saying it to them, was it the same? I think of all your family the most disappointed would be your mom. I guess because she wants us to be secure in our life and live happily.

If one of my daughters came and told me she were gay, I'd be fine with it. As a mom, I just want my kids to be happy in their lives. All families are different tho. Some families because of their beliefs, have more trouble being accepting of these things which is really sad. Regardless of how your family is, I think you will feel better just being honest with them. It's a starting point. I'm sorry this is an issue for you. No one should have to worry and wonder about being accepted by family. You deserve to KNOW that you are loved and cared about.

Thanks for an encouraging thoughts about about these topic, Yes I really believe that acceptance still depends upon how close you are as a family and how open the communication you are with them. Your daughter is blessed to have a mother like you who are open about these thing and really care about the feelings of their children. I just think that those parents who can't accept their children being gay is that they are afraid to be judge by others, afraid to be criticize and ridicule. Even in this day an age, there still a lot of conservative and close-minded who can't truly understand and accept gay. Thanks for responding.
