I searched for something funny related to the topic - wasn't really successful, that's what I found:

Even though we can't see the air, we can feel it and know it is in the balloon and coming out!

What Is Happening

Air is pretty neat. We can't see it or touch it. We can see evidence of air when we put air from our lungs into a balloon. The balloon swells up with the air we put inside of it. Air has no real shape of its own. But air will take the shape of whatev er container it gets put into. We could see that when we looked at different sizes and shapes of balloons. We can feel air when we let a balloon give off air against our cheek or when we put our hand up near our nose or mouth and feel air coming out of our lungs when we exhale. We can feel air when we go outside on a windy day! Air is fun to play with and very important- we can't live without air!

So, basically, there's a mass of gay air that some people have tucked deep inside their lungs.....  they have held their breath for years, perhaps even longer.  But one day, they get tired and exhale.  Sometimes this exhalation is so powerful it can blow other people over who are close to the exhaler.  But after a time, most people can find the courage to stand back on their feet after getting blown over with gay air.

Hmmmm......well, at least you've now lifted that millstone from your shoulders and set it on the ground.  I did that 10 years ago when I was 35. Only wish is that I'd done so earlier.  As for your mother, she already knows, or at least has LONG suspected. My mother had long suspected, I just finally confirmed the suspicion.  Your mothers reaction?  Who knows.  They are all different depending upon upbringing, values, faith, etc,etc.  Don't affraid of telling her, or your parents. Put all the cards on the table at once. They/she will either accept you as you are and still love you, still love you and possibly express thier discontent with the idea of never having any grandchildren from you, they may get angry and toss you out of the house.  But at least you are being honest with yourself and them, and no longer hiding in the closet.  I wish you the best of luck!

Hey, if that were true then I think we'd have ALOT more gay fellas knocking around! I mean, I myself have been in love with the Minogue for many years now (and never once knew the implications for my sexuality  :o ).

Sorry, being silly...

Congrats my good man. I wish you all the best  :)

I love gays! They're SO easy to talk to! I think you don't have to be ashamed of who or what you are, its YOUR business, not anyone else's. If someone wants to complain, just ignore it or tell him/her to buzz off.

thanks guys for your support i really really needed it and apreciate it. :-*

coming out is soooooooooo much better than i thought it would be

first i really regreted coming out to my sister because she doesn't accept me being homosexual so i told her either i have FULL acceptance from you or we won't talk to each others again, she wanted me to get back in the closet and start therapy and get a girlfriend to fall in love with her and turn straight ::)

i thought that was it our strong relationship is over and we won't talk ever again because we didn't talk for a week which made me really frustrated because befor i came out i prayed to god that if coming out is the right thing to do then give me courage or take this urge away from my head.
but after one week my sister told me how about partial acceptance is it good for you?
i told her there's no such thing, then we talked and every thing went back to normal, and actually few days ago she told i'm glad that your gay because if your straight we wouldn't be so close and homosexuality isn't bad at all it's intresting
woooooow big step for me i didn't expect these words coming from her mouth
now we talk about guy i like and everything like it's just any other daily ordinary thing
now she wants to go to gay prade to show support  ;D

i didn't come out to my mother yet
i know she'll accept me and nothing would change between us AT ALL but i'm concerned that she would feel like a faliure as parent and i don't want to hurt her feelings so i'll leave her for later


another great event is that i came out to my aunt, she's a VERY religious women and single by the way, and here's the bomb she told me i have a small secret of my own i like bot women and men but more on the lesb. side  :o.

HOW GREAT IS THIS i'm not the only one in the family ;D

i'm sooooo glad i came out i wish i have done it earlier and i'm also very thankfull to god that it wen't GREAT

To the extent that I happen not to be homosexual it may be regarded by some as none of my business in any case, but I have nevertheless to say that, had it never been common practice to treat homosexuals as though they were little better than subhuman, none of them would have ever felt any need to go into the closet in the first place, so there'd be no need for them to come out of it.

Even in today's considerably more enlightened climate (in terms of general acceptance and understanding of the phenomenon of homosexuality), however, there remains a residue of prurience in terms of undue interest (feigned or genuine) in the sexual orientations of others, the need for which I find as hard to understand as I find the attitude itself unwelcome and unhelpful; by this I mean specifically that I am not as interested in anyone's sexual proclivities per se as I am in their other characteristics and, it seems to me, an individual's sexual orientation need only be of genuine interest and concern to his/her personal sexual partner/s.

Inded, had neither problem existed, there would almost certainly be little or no especial reason for anyone to be "glad to be gay" than for anyone else to be "glad not to be gay" (and I hate the term "gay" in this context anyway - so much so, in fact, that I remember once telling a group of homosexuals that I thought the term to be insulting to the extent that it might be argued to denote the fact that homosexuals are not worthy of a 5-syllable depictive term and should have instead to content themselves with a 1-syllable one).

Residual from the good ole Victorian era! Atleast for us Brits, I would wager. this true that we are still (yes, even now!) a nation of obscene hypocrits, openly critising others for openly taking part in activities that many of us enjoy behind closed doors.

Perhaps we are jealous that some people seem able to enjoy the liberation of 'coming out' (in the sense of being frank and open about their sexual practices), and feel the need to pry, judge and even mock?

Who knows.

But I can say that my parents attitude to sexual orientation is fresh out of the C19th. And as much as I hate to admit it, a little of that has rubbed off on me (no revolting pun intended  :-X ).

Well, personally I don't consider myself to be worthy of the 5-syllable word either, so the 1-syllable word "straight" works fine for me!  ;D

Only one, of course, but that is not the point; "straight" people have not had to contend with the treatment that homosexual ones have, simply for being homosexual, so the issue does not apply in the same way, it seems to me.

But why would you want anyone to call you a "straight" person anyway? Would all curvaceous heterosexual women want to be called "straight"? The whole thing just seems to smack of terminological conventions that are rather less than vitally necessary, in my 'umble view.

Some would say that a person is "straight" because he/she is generally of honest disposition, whether or not he/she is heterosexual or homosexual.

I think the terminology might have came about as in England, gay people used to be referred to as "benders". Therefore, someone who was not gay would be referred to as "straight".

Just my theory.

I don't care so much for terminology -- people are what they are; however, I would venture to say that most curvaceous heterosexual women wouldn't mind being called "straight" after spending time with me... :P lol

I find the term "straight" actually humorous at times -- for instance once I was getting directions to a friend's house (he was gay) for a party, and he said over the phone,

"make a left, then go straight for 2 blocks..." 

After we laughed, he said, "well, go forward for 2 blocks..."
