News, Reviews & Commentary on Lesbian and Bisexual women in Entertainment and the Media

Hi to all.

 Hey, I'm new here (obviously, as I'm posting in the 'introductions' section... stupid thing to say).

I'm fifteen, not yet out of the closet although the doors are due to open after I turn sixteen, in the summer. It's only recently that I've come to terms with my sexuality; I suppose it's always been something that's lingered in the back of my mind but I generally tried to ignore it. I'm comfortable with who I am now which is such a great feeling although keeping my sexuality opressed until I turn sixteen can put me in a bit of a downer. 

 

  I guess I joined here because I want to talk to other lesbians about their experiences, especially regarding coming out. My dad doesn't see it as being 'normal' and my mum, although quite open-minded, cares a lot about appearances and is very religious. It's difficult to predict how they're going to react, I want to try and bring up the subject but not in a way that makes anything obvious... ideas and advice are welcome!

Hi I too realised I was gay

Hi I too realised I was gay when I was 15 but I didn't tell my parents until I was 19, my parents were asking me if I like girls or boys when I was like 17 until I told them but was always just like I don't know. When I told my mum she was like "its not what I would have wanted for you but your my daughter and I love you" and my dad was like "yeah I have known since you were 15" apparently my MSN messages got saved and I was talking to people about Bad Girls and thinking I was gay, and he saw them and was totally cool. They both cool with it and always asking me if I kissed anyone lately etc, sometimes a bit too cool lol.

Hopefully it will be OK for you too, but my parents aren't really religious at all.

I'd be worried if my dad read my convos...

I don't think he'd be too pleased if he read my MSN convos; I don't want him finding out in that way - I think I'd rather tell both my parents rather than let them work it out for themselves.

 

I'll just have to see how everything goes, I'll be prepared for the worst but I doubt it'll come to that. Thanks for sharing. :)

I was just intrigued that he had known for 4 years and never confronted me about it

Maybe...

Maybe he felt that he'd invaded your privacy and wanted to respect it and let you talk to him about it?
