Need Help

[Brian_Anderson_2010]

Hey guys can anyone help me with something? I just told my mom and dad last sunday night that I was gay and they are not taking it so good. They told me that I was confused and that I was not gay but I am gay and I just need them to see it. Does anyone know a good way to get my mom and dad to see that i am not confused about being gay so we can get back on with our lifes.

Thank You
Brian Anderson

As could only really be expected, your parents have found it a little hard to accept.
There's only one thing you need to do: stick to your guns. As long as you consistently tell them you're gay (or at least when they question it) and that you have no interest in girls, they'll have to come round. It's just the initial 'shock'.

Just give it time, because you only told them very recently.
Good luck, Brian.

They are probably just saying that because its hard for them to process but it will get better as time goes by

I think that they keep on saying the because they cant deal with the idea of you being gay. I say you stick with your annoucement and then they will eventually accept your decision.

just keep with the story. never deny being gay

They're just in shock and they just need time for it to soak in. If your parents freaked out anymore then they probably wouldn't be accepting. They think your confused because you're younger and sometimes parents think they know everything and they probably just want to protect you. I'm sure they'll be accepting of who you are because they didn't really "freak out" like a maniac. Give them time to think and let it linger because they'll eventually be there to support you.

Good luck, and I hope everything goes smoothly for you! :)

Good advice from IMA. Give them time to deal with the shock. I would checkin with them in a couple of weeks if they do not bring up the subject. I think you do not want to alienate your parents, cuz I think good relationships with parents are important. Ultimately you gotta decide what you want and how to live your life.
