    Like the title says.. i was wondering if it would be okay to come out to my mom on mother's day. i already told my dad and he took it great! but now i wanna tell my mom so i was gonna write a little letter inside her mom day card and take her out to dinner. is this a good idea or is it terribly rude to come out on holidays?lol I told my dad on my brothers birthday unintentionally so it was like uh "happy birthday bro!", "dad we need to talk". it was really funny cuz he thought i was going to tell him i was on drugs or drinking. at one pint(cuz it ws taking me for ever to spit out the im gay) he asked me if it was about a girl and i was like" um sorta i guess. if u really want to call Ben a girl>." :roflmao:

    Yep, what they said. It's not fair to your mother or anyone else to hijack a holiday. Like Chip said, wait a week and tell her then when there's not a bunch of hustle and bustle going on.
