Gay son: Lesbian daughter

Homosexual, heterosexual or asexual. You are a child conceived and raised by loving parents. They sacrifice so much to make sure we have a brighter and better future. They grin and bear with our ever evolving attitudes as we go through adolescence. Then boom, we drop the bomb..."Mum I'm GAY"..."Dad I like girls" by a daughter. What are the initial responses we get from our parents? What responses do we expect after breaking such news to our mothers and fathers.

Well I never had to tell my mum...she caught me in the act. Don't do that! I'm not the only guy who got caught in the act to come out. So me and my boy were in my room, temperatures rising as we thought whoa this will be the best making out ever. Until the door opened... actually we heard the rustling sound of plastics, but that was too late. Mum had stood there, watching two boys kissing like they were ready to swallow each other. We jumped and tried to compose ourselves and she kept quiet. My boy and I quietly left the house. On my way back all that was going through my head was she knows I'm gay, how could she not know, I'm her only son. Surely something must've resembled my sexuality.
When I got home, I promise it was almost as if she had been rehearsing whilst I was away. She was speaking 50words per second. She shouted like that, telling me what a disappointment I am. Where have I seen two men doing the nasty? Who in my family does that? Funny enough I was not phased by most of what she said, until she said something about packing my bags and leaving the house... Which I didn't do ofcourse. However she hit me that night with a plastic jar on my forehead, I have a scar to prove that! Two weeks later, she bought cake and we started speaking normally again.

That's just my story. What I'm trying to say is, I actually expected my mum to say "oh ja, I've always known you'd be GAY or QUEER" but she didn't. I remember while she was shouting at me, she mentioned "no one in my family was homosexual". Today I have 4 homosexual relatives, 2 gays + me and 2 lesbians. Now the dilemma is , the lesbians are better accepted by family. Its been 8years since I came out but I still can't say "Im with my boyfriend mah. My lesbian cousin brings her girlfriends home and mum sits there like Im the one who brought a MAKOTI home. Why is our parents and the society at large is more tolerant towards LESBIANS than GAYS?

Lesbians out there, share how you view this dilemma. Tell us how you came out and how has your society received you as a proud and out lesbian. Gay guys do the same please. Is it just me or this is another case of sexism???

Next time we will be paying tribute to our LGBTI members who passed on because of their sexuality. Hate crimes  and this ridiculous idea of corrective rape....I mean really? Corrective rape guys?

I love you guys XX
