How to bring up the conversation about sexuality around my mom

[Wicked_Syn]

So I met this one awesome guy online, and we've been dating exclusively. No other people involved, all my sights are set on him.

Anyway, he wants me--and I do too--to come down to Louisiana and visit him this summer. I'm getting my license back this June--to many speeding tickets hehe--but I'm not that concerned about the drive from Minnesota to Louisiana. You know the saying...YOLO

I want to tell my mom though that I'm bisexual. I want her to know that I am happy with the person I'm with and I would just kind of like to let her know.

My mom is a sweet person, very nice, not strict, and from what I can gather, she isn't so judgmental--she may be like shocked when I tell her, but that's to be expected--so how do I go about telling her?

Here is what I would do
go up to her and ask what her views are on sexuality and take it from there

There are lots of different ways you could go about it. You could leave a note somewhere that she'll read it and wait for her to bring it up. If you think she'll be accepting, and it seems she is, then I would say tell her you have something important to tell her and make her sit down. Once you're there then you have to tell her really. In my opinion I would just straight out say it. "I'm Bi" no fapping and she knows straight away. It's great that you've accepted yourself and I'm sure that when she finds out once she realises that you are happy then she'll be fine with it.

Well what I done to my parents when I brung it up was I said about a boy in my school who got beat up cos he's gay. I said that's really harsh isn't it? And she agreed. I mean you can always lie about the story or think of something similar.

Coming out can be a big deal for parental figures in your life, so telling her that you're bisexual and have a boyfriend (and one who you met online) could be a lot to handle at once.

However it could be hard to make an effort to talk to her about the subjects at different times too, so doing it at once could be easier -- for you.

That said there's never really a great time to say you aren't straight to your parents. It's best in my opinion to say it straight up (sorry for the pun) to her.

This is great info, thank you
