My parents have suspected for quite some time and have been interrogating me whether I have been dating other guys even if it were really just friends hanging out. Since they told me they would never accept me for who I am, I don't really see any point in being honest with them about it. Was kinda wondering have your parents actually suspect you were gay before (or if ever) you come out?
on two occasions they have asked me but i think that's due to fact I've never had gf or showed any interest well with anyone (to their knowledge) and no I'm not out to them.
On two occasions for me too. The first was when I had broken up with my most recent, and pretty much only girlfriend. And the second time, I was asked if I had something that was true to my heart and if I needed to tell them about it. That was when we were talking about the idea of grandchildren and how that would be possible with me hating kids. (I was actually making them used to the idea of not expecting kids from me so the day that I came out to them wouldn't come as too much of a shock.)
They've asked me once or twice in the past. I haven't come out to them yet but I'm pretty sure they already know, or at least strongly suspect I'm gay.
Yeah, they have. They caught me wearing a dress back in High School. Finally came out a few months ago.
When I was younger my parents would always ask me. I would always get really offended, but thinking back now and everything I'm trying to go through now, they may have known more about me than I did.
My mom asked me when I was in high school. She just can into my room as I was about to go to bed, crying her eyes out, and asked me if I was a lesbian. It took some convincing, but I told her that I wasn't. She hasn't mentioned anything since then, so she has either forgotten or is waiting for me to come out on my own.
I'm lucky that even if I dont tell them, they know I am. I remember one day, my mother texted me and he want me to meet someone single he knew, I thought it's a girl but its not. lol
I was once in the kitchen with a few friends talking about an old friend (girl) i had just been talking to on skype when my mum walked in and asked who she was. She then got excited asking if she was cute and was she my girlfriend. One of my friends laughed and told my mum that she was talking to her gbf. My mums face went from gleeful to horrified in a split second and gasped "Y-YOU'RE NOT?!..." to which i replied "no, dont be silly." That and all the porn i looked at as a teenager before knowing how to delete internet history should make it less of a surprise when i finally grow a pair and tell my mum.
My dad hints at it all the time. I didn't realize it till I was older but my dad has always known that I'm gay. I guess he just hopes that I will choose to be straight the duration of my life. The only reason I won't come out and be honest is that I know he doesn't want the truth. My sister asked me flat out if I was gay and when I answered her she started crying and said I was deceived by satan so I'm not exactly excited to come out to my parents. It's hard to pretend you are in to the opposite sex when you never date anyone of the opposite sex.
My mother accused when I was 17. She was too early really. I had reason to believe that I might be gay (porn preference), but I told myself I'd become straight, so to speak, when I was older. She suspected it because I wasn't showing any interest in girls, I watched Will and Grace at the time and I wouldn't ask the neighbours to let me sit and watch them do DIY as she told me to (I was too embarassed). She wasn't pleased and I told her about girl I had a crush on. It was sort of true, but that's another story. Since then, she's believed me and assured me that I can get a girlfriend once my social life gets going. So she's supportive and well meaning, but I know not to tell her how I really feel while I live under her roof. Meanwhile, my father and his family have never asked me about girls. I wouldn't be too suprised if he decided that I was gay when I was 9 and told his family and friends about it. I'd laugh if a new age chap like him took it badly.
Interestingly, my father and I never had a very close relationship, but before I got myself into a serious heterosexual relationship (which involved moving to a different country, etc.) my dad said "she was always a little different, she will find out what's right for her". I didn't give it much thought then, but it somehow shines in a new light now.
My mom always tells me gay related things, she reads the news about gay people when I'm around and asks me questions about them, and she sometimes recommends me to watch movies that always happens to have gay characters. So, I'm guessing she knows, since I've never shown any interest in men, but I haven't told her.
My parents outed me! :O It was the worst thing in the world! They sat me down and told me that they knew because a few days prior I had told them that I had something to tell them but I chickened out. So they outed me and then they burst into tears telling me to not make this 'choice' because it leads you down a bad road and God forbids it. Then they told me that gay people kill themselves! Charming. They could have handled that better!
My parents never suspected anything. I was a weird dreamer who loves rock, cars and traveling but never had a boyfriend. My mother had problems with her mentally health, and she wasn´t interested at all if I had a boyfriend or not. My dad treated me like a boy, when I helped him with his businesses. When I asked my sister, if somebody never suspected I am gay, she said no. She told me that everybody knew I was a little different like other girls, I belonged the group of boys and men... but a gay.. no!
The simple fact that I show no interest in women is a huge indicator that I'm Gay, but to this day my mum has said nothing, that and the fact I'm very obvious when I check out guys is a probably a larger indicator to be honest
I think both my parents suspect I'm gay and I get the impression they've talked about it. I mean I don't think they know for sure I'm gay they just think I might be. The fact that I haven't had a girlfriend since I was about 12 is a good clue. My mum even joked about bringing home a boyfriend the other day. I laughed it off but it's nice to know she wouldn't have a problem if I did bring a boyfriend home. It makes me sad to hear stories about parents who won't accept their kids being gay and makes me feel incredibly lucky that I know my parents will be fine with it.
My mom asked me about my gender this summer...but to be fair, was wearing a binder/tank X with no shirt over it. Not exactly subtle. I think I told her something about not wanting to talk about it yet.
They've asked me if I were a lesbian several times, because I dressed like a boy. Little did they know I was trans; but they get it now. Thankfully. xD
