Is this a good reaction?

OK, I came out to my mother on a 2hr car ride, and she said that she suspected...but she also said, that she thinks i'm just scared I'm going to be hurt by girls. I didn't tell her about an online relationship that i had a year ago. But I know I'm gay, mainly because the though of being in a relationship with a girl, kinda well, doesn't disgust me, but seems to push me away. i dont like it...idk how to explain it, but it doesn't feel right...does this mean she accepted it? or she still wishes I was straight? Btw, we are baptist Christian, and my parents are VERY Conservative on this kinda stuff...(dad said he'd never talk to me if i was gay, wiccan, or on drugs...)

Thx for the help, if possible

Well she is your mom, and it sounds like she accepted it. But since she is your mom, I'm sure She does accept it, but it doesn't mean she likes it. She could still want you to be straight, which could be the reason for her comment about you being scared, but just be yourself either way,at least you told her,it's off your chest. I'm sure she accepts you,though, and you shouldn't worry :-)

Hope this helped some.

Thx, yea...she sorta accepted it...she doesn't really talk about it, but she did say i have to tell my father soon enough.......*shudders*

Well done. Yea I think the "are you sure" thing is pretty common. My bf had 2 girlfriends but he's sure he's gay. His mum took a bit of convincing partly cos of that but also she worries he'll be ok.

I have the same sort of conservative Christian family so I know where you are coming from. Good job coming out and sounds like a good response to me. Hope you are up to all the loving prayers and Christian concern expressed to your face and behind your back that my uncle and cousin have had.
I hear all that and it is a pretty big reason I am not out yet except to my girlfriend ( who is still my girlfriend--weird, huh). Go for it and enjoy being who you really are.

I'm glad I could help :-) I'm sure telling your dad might be a little harder than your mom,but you'll have to do it,you'll just have to find the right opportunity to do so and hope he's as understanding as your mom. I'm sure he'll be quite a bit more shocked though, but that doesn't mean he won't accept it. Perhaps you should try being wiccan around him in order to test the water lol

Yea good job with your mom, i know that thats alot of courrage too do.
But remember this, you have been thinking about what it mean to be gay or bi, for a long time now,( i guess) and when you just come out like that, it has to be hard on your mom and dad. I hope that they welll love you you now matter what, But after you tell them it might take a few day for them to digest that.

sounds like your mom accepted it. Good luck with your dad

I have a gay older brother, so I think I may understand the situation a bit. It sounds as though your mom is accepting of the situation, though does somewhat wish it weren't true(Judging by what you said about your upbringing), but still plans to support you in whatever way she can.

Your father on the other hand probably won't take it well. Even my dad who I know is 100% in favor of homosexuality seemed uncomfortable about my older brother being gay at first. Though not telling him won't do you any good and it may be rocky at first, but I'm positive that it will mend it self.
