umm...so i came out to my mum...
I barely remember how we got on the topic but I was pretty upset about a whole bunch of stuff after I got home from work and eventually Mum mentioned that she thought I was so upset about always losing friends and being so adamant about gay rights was because I was gay. I was pretty quiet and was still crying over everything and didn't know if I wanted to tell her. She kept talking about stuff and how if I was she wouldn't disown me or anything and Dad and her assumed I must be and thought it had something to do with Courtney. I kept saying "I don't know if you truthfully want to know these things because I don't want to freak you out" and eventually I got tired of hiding all these secrets and confessed that I like people for their personalities and still like guys but I like Courtney and I've been dating her for 11 months and it's our one year anniversary July 4.
She was a bit flustered at that last comment and can't seem to wrap her head around the fact people can be friends over the internet and talk and like each other by not seeing their appearance all the time and yeah. But she said if I was last year when I told her this, she'd be more freaked out but now since it's been a main focus on the news and bullying and stuff she's more accepting. I think she's still uncomfortable and I don't trust her not to tell Dad but I think she's partially alright with the fact. Me on the other hand, I'm still paranoid over what her real reaction is but I'm kind of glad she knows and I don't have to hide that as much as I used to.
So yeah, I don't know what will happen over the course of this month, and the rest of the summer/school year, but my Mum pretty much knows I'm bisexual and am dating Courtney.
