		<description>Oh boy. lol
Listen, this might have little meaning to you, or a lot, so im just gonna say it. Homosexuality, religion, politics, etc etc. If you&#039;re different from youre family at all, there most likely will be some problems. You see, my whole family is Christian on my moms side, Athiest on my dads side. Ive been a Wiccan for quite a while. For Wiccans its called &quot;coming out of the broom closet&quot;. I started by telling my friends. Theyre pretty chill about it. Then I told my dad&#039;s family. Theyre cool too. I recently told my mom and this is exactly what she said, &quot;I&#039;m very disappointed in you. I didnt think I was raising a Satanist.&quot; This hurt my feelings so much, because If you dont know, Wicca is not Satanist. We dont even believe in satan. We more or less worship nature. I tried explaining it to her and she just said, &quot;do what you want&quot;. I called her today and she said this is what she said, &quot;Im sorry I judged you. I know I didnt raise a Satanist, I raised an individual. And im very proud of you.&quot; If you know youre family is a good family then you&#039;re mom and youre family will ALWAYS love you. They will ALWAYS support you. I suggest this.

Talk to your mom first. Take her out with you alone and say this:
&quot;I&#039;ve been thinking lately and It&#039;s wrong to keep you in the dark. I just need you to keep and open-mind and remember Im still your son and I love you.&quot; Let her worry. lol. Let her think youre into hardcore drugs or got someone pregnant. then just say, &quot;Im gay.&quot; She&#039;ll be shocked at first. and dont be surprised if she says something offensive. She doesnt realize that this would hurt your feelings. Be like, &quot;ive been gay for about _____ and some other people already know. ive been worried how you would react&quot; Personally, i think she will support you. she seems to not hate your neighbors and you guys are really close. youre mom will accept you. sooner or later. if she doesnt when you come out then she will later. its much better to tell her. hope it goes well. good luck!

add me too. you seem really chill: http://www.myspace.com/aluraprice</description>

		<description>To me from what i just read seems like overall she is accepting of it, i mean if you come out to her she maybe be upset and say things she doesn&#039;t mean because she has to get used to it and all. i think she may also suspect your gay still. And i think she will accept you and i hope she does too. as for your dad... different Store. i wish you luck coming out *Hugs*</description>

		<description>Parents have that unconditional love for their kids that literally no earthly force can break. She may take it as a shock or a surprise, and will be disapointed and/or thoughtful(if she is against gays like you said she was with the comment she made, she may think what she did &#039;wrong&#039; raising you) but she will come to terms with it. It&#039;s only a small percentage of parents that completely bar their gay children from their lives. Your her son regardless of your sexuality, and she as a parent knows this, and will realize it if she is shocked. Regardless of everything, you should come out to her, believe me, it will be a huge release off your mind and heart. Trust me. :)</description>

		<description>i think your mom would accept you come out...she seems to love her children...as she defended you about baking. If your mom really and i mean really loves you, she won&#039;t care if gay-she will love you from thick and thin. plus she seems cool unlike my mom who didn&#039;t wanna watch broke back mountain with me. even if she is upset at first, deep down she will always love you forever. so tell her, it will tear you apart if you don&#039;t. good luck!</description>

		<description>The thing with parents, they love you no matter what.
they can&#039;t help it.
They may not understand you, but they will love you.

You may have read into what she said correctly, or you may have layered it with your own doubts and concerns and heard tone/meaning that she didn&#039;t intend to put in.  Next time she says, &#039;are you one of those gays guys&#039; ask her something like, &#039;would that be so bad&#039; or &#039;what difference does it make&#039; or &#039;and if I said yes, then what?&#039;  She won&#039;t know if its teen rebellion or honesty, but you will get a point across.

You don&#039;t have to come out at once, but you can make it more and more clear that you are gay.  Don&#039;t lie, just don&#039;t answer the question asked.  

once I told my brother &quot;don&#039;t ask questions you don&#039;t want the answers to&quot; and that shut him up for  a year.  He was still &#039;shocked&#039; when i came out.... ~whatever~</description>

		<description>Well all I can say to you is that 
First of all, the baking thing that confused you is because your uncle was being sexist.

Second, it just seems to me she doesn&#039;t want a gay son but is accepting of others (because parents always want grandchildren).

If you&#039;re prepared enough, you could come out to her if you&#039;d like.</description>
