their reaction was relatively in line with what i had hoped for, honestly.  i knew they loved me and would continue to do so.  
and i think it was much worse in my head... that seems to be common among people i've talked to who have gone through similar situations.

damn I remember when I told my parents I was dating a white chick..mad nervous, waited for 2 years into the relationship to tell them.. I almost got disowned by the entire family...

props for be braving enough to do that..

[lstylez23]

my best friend is gay..
if that matters. lol

but nah man its cool that you came out to your peeps. i know it had to be alot of weight off your shoulders.
props

 

[rowenarrow]

Big ups to you, hope you have some weight off your shoulders now.

Congrats on you finally coming out to your family. Bet it felt awesome afterwards. Im about 99% sure one of my Brothers is gay. I wish hed just finally come out because I cant think of one family member that could care either way if he is gay or straight. My Girlfriend finally met him and she thinks he is also. I  dont want to bring it up and make him uncomfertable but I want to let him know that no matter what ill love him. If he isnt gay ill be shocked

 but if he is I really hope he doesnt wait years to come out cus I cant imagine him trying to keep something that important about himself a secret.

[decemberlove]

Fig Neuton should take notes on how to come out to NT

Props to you OP

 

[Lunden]

congrats OP takes alot for someone to come out

whats shocking is the amount of positivity in this thread

NT can be a can of worms at times but im glad to see some of us are mature

 

[northmiamiboi]

oh

 

[bjamez20]

Congrats, must feel like a new man after that

While youre fielding questions, when did you realize you were gay?

 

[sherwin100s]

Respect

 

[fenixconnexion.]

props OP im proud of you

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

Much respect to you OP!

 

[clone]

Congratz man. Only gets easier now.

 

[polorico]

been seeing you post on here for years.

 

[zapatohead408]

I find it amazing that there's a homosexual thread on NT which happens to be the only one Fig Neuton isn't in.

But More importantly, Congrats OP

 

[dmoney82]

I used to be such a homophobic person up until a few years ago. I guess it's just part of the maturation process but I've learned to accept everyone for who and what they are. As long as you're happy, I'm happy. Be yourself, love yourself and be happy. Congrats OP !!!!

As for OP, I'm happy for you, and happy that your parents were so accepting of you.

A lot of them are just saying positive things because it looks/sounds cool. If one person started bashing him, those same losers would have followed suit. Smh
