My Catholic grandmother once declared gay men to be unsafe parents, and this year I came out on FB to her and the rest of the family (including 2 nuns). Now, she has seen how LGBTQ+ individuals are treated (and how kind we can be, including a lesbian relative) and says I should be Bi/Agender and live life out with love and kindness, instead of hiding in shame.

Explaining it was actually the pan pride flag was quite funny..but I found it sweet that they both tried

“Drop hints?” We started telling our kids outright when they were in elementary school, that they could marry anyone of any race or gender and we would be happy. And they were like, “Duh. We know. Why are you talking about marriage when I’m seven?” So then we changed it to “date or marry.”

Whenever I watching coming out stuff I always remember my brother coming out to our parents as straight. To be fair he was the only straight person in our immediate family at the time. It was the most fantastic thing. He took it VERY seriously. We eventually asked why he did it; apparently watching our moms, our sister, and myself come out as some flavor of 'not straight' multiple times over the years made him angry because of some of the reactions we got. He decided that straight people should feel the pressure to come out, too, because equality, and led by example. He helped my daughter set up her coming out party (also straight) a couple of years ago. He is very, very serious about this needing to be a thing. Some people get mad at him for it but, honestly, he feels that equality means equal and if there's pressure on not straights to announce their sexuality for public judgement then the straights should have to do it too.

@Lisa_Flowers

2 жыл бұрын

I think those responses make sense in a society where being queer is already seen as normal and is validated in the same capacity as heterosexuality. But we don't live in that society, so saying you don't care can just come across as dismissive, because your kid may not be getting as much validation that their orientation is good and okay from many other places. Like if you're kid is struggling with feeling their queer identity is wrong, they might need validation, not apathy. It can also come across as slightly dismissive when you're kid put a ton of effort into their coming out. Like clearly THEY care, otherwise they wouldn't have baked cakes or filmed videos, so to me saying 'I don't care' comes across like you don't appreciate the effort they put in or how much they clearly care about coming out. I appreciate the parents who clarify that they don't care because they love them either way, or who say it in a way where it is clear that their kid knows that they're accepted. But a lot of these fell into ambiguous territory, so idk, it felt weird. It's also worth pointing out that 'I don't care' can mean a lot of things which is why this response can sometimes be such a weird thing, especially as a viewer who doesn't know these kids and their parents and has no context (for some parental apathy might be the norm lol). Like 'I don't care' can mean you ultimately accept your kid to the point where they don't even need to come out to you, and that you love and support them wholeheartedly. But it can _also_ mean 'I'm uncomfortable talking about this' or the classic homophobic trope of 'I don't need to know who you're having sex with'. Like some parents 'don't care' because queerness makes them uncomfortable and they want to dismiss that part of you. They view it as something negative to tolerate as opposed to something so normal they've already accepted it. That ambiguity to me is why 'I don't care' can be a weird response from an audience perspective. Unless you grow up in a progressive bubble where you can entirely take for granted that your parents are okay with gay people and love you unconditionally, 'I don't care' is so ambiguous it doesn't take the anxiety away. It adds a new anxiety of 'I have no idea what my parents mean by this exactly.'

The second video says: "I told my mom I am bisexual. I found it really difficult to bring it up on a regular conversation. So I tought about doing it this way" I hope it helps 🥰

Now at 32, I like to regularly send pictures of my cats to my mom and be like, "Aren't your grandkittens so adorable?" just to remind her that she thought I'd get older, become a horn dog, start a family, and provide her with human grandchildren to fawn over. :)

I’m pan but have only ever dated guys and I’ve never come out to my mother… recently my upstairs neighbour asked me out and when I told my mam she said ‘oh that’s lovely! The boy or the girl?’ She was only briefly confused when I told her the boy because I’ve been complaining about his piano playing for the last two years…

I look forward to the day when 'coming out' is no longer a thing at all, like, I don't want young people (or even adults, considering I came out at 35) to have to come out to their families, I just want them to be who they are and bring home whoever they love without any justification or explanation required.

I don't have a particularly interesting coming out story, but the funniest thing is when I came out to my (rather homophobic) mom. All I told her was that I was part of the LGBT+ group (I didn't/don't think she could understand split attraction and me being asexual/biromantic; heck I dont think she'd understand asexuality at all). But I told her this and her only response was, "Yeah. I'll be honest, I was surprised when you brought home a guy." And I was just so dumbfounded like???? No, I'm the one thats supposed to be surprising you, not the other way around lol. Any way, found out a year and a half later that my boyfriend is actually gender fluid, so I sometimes I have a boyfriend, sometimes I have a girlfriend, and sometimes they're just my partner.

I am asexual demipanromantic and I came out to my dad while he was still homophobic because of Christianity. Luckily, I was able to explain to him that the homophobic verses in the Bible were mistranslated pedophilia verses and he is supportive-ish now. He doesn’t understand that how I can be sex-repulsed and has said numerous times that he “feels bad for” me. The demi and pan parts of my romantic orientation were also difficult to explain to him, but a little easier.

And my dad's got dementia, so every time the topic comes up, it's like coming out all over again, so we just say "Never mind" when he asks what we said and move on. I think those of us who have boring non-stories or no stories are definitely the lucky ones, and I am also hopeful like others said that eventually it won't be a thing anyone does anymore.

I love watching these.. especially seeing the support. I came out as non-binary to my parents and didn't get a hug, a "I'm proud of you", or any type of support.. Instead, I got a talk about how they refuse to pay for anything (hormones or binder) for me and how my mom thinks I'm wrong and it's a phase.. They didn't even ask about a name or pronouns. My dad said "I call you she and *deadname* because you ARE *deadname* and my DAUGHTER." I'm so thankful for my supportive friends, they're my home and I wouldn't be here without them!

I had come out technically ( I asked my mum how she'd react if I ended up dating a girl: I identified only as a girl back then, and she just gave a whole lot of biblical crap. ) I later on excused the question to be plain curiosity. Then I decided to not come out, and just date who I want. That didn't work out when my mum found our texts. I don't live with my parents anymore, and I've gotten past the whole coming out thing. I just let people figure it out for themselves.

The italian dad at 3:33... he sounded like my dad, at least enough for dumb pattern-recognition brain. He passed a year ago, I was too early in figuring things out to say anything. Hearing that dad's reaction, the combination of that much acceptance and that accent, it just clicked that he never got a chance to know me as me. He never got to meet his eldest daughter. 😭

Thanks. Now I'm crying. Honestly though, as a mother, I'm so happy to hear good coming out stories. Nothing makes me angrier than bad coming out stories. Like, love your kids for being their true selves.

The second one says (roughly): I told my mommy I am bisexual. It was hard for me to do so with a conversation... I thought about how would I tell her (that she's bi) for a long time. And I ended up doing it like this.

My coming out to my friends was the best day of my life!! My best friend happy stimmed so much and hugged me and literally screamed “you’re gay!!” And my other friends were like OMFG WE KNEW IT YEsSsS

I came out to my parents last week and I FEEL SO HAPPY finally being able to accept who I am! My parents are super supportive too! 😭😭😭 My dad was like: "Well now your options have doubled!"

The dad saying “okay” made me smile. We stan supportive parents.

I’m a guy who’s mostly identified as straight. Recently, I’ve been starting to question myself, and I’m starting to think I might be bi. I’m still not sure though, since I still have a preference for women and I still don’t fully know to what extent I’m attracted to men or any other gender. So I might be bi or heteroflexible (roughly, “mostly straight”) or somewhere in between, and I don’t want to be the straight guy who’s forcing himself into LGBT+ spaces by saying that he’s bi when he’s not. If I do eventually decide that I’m bi, I want to come out to my friends and sister first, since I know they’d be fully accepting of me. They’re all cishet (I think) but full allies of the LGBT+ community. After that I’ll want to come out to my parents with my sister’s help. They’re fully accepting of gay people but I don’t know if they understand what bisexuality is, so I’d be a bit more nervous about them. Anyway, I love this channel and it’s wholesomeness and positivity, and it’s really helping me come to terms with my questioning.

Bisexuality means any degree of attraction to two(or more) genders. It can be that you like 30% women and 70% men, 50/50, 1/99, 34.66/66.44, etc. Just look around for more terms, if bisexuality doesn't quite feel right! There are plenty of labels, finding the one that fits you best usually feels great, the most important thing is that you're comfortable. Even if that means you'd rather not have a label! Perfectly valid. Sexuality and gender are hard to figure out, just give yourself some time and patience, and research at a pace that isn't overwhelming.

Jammi: "omg this video is gonna make me cry" Me, already profusely leaking salty liquid from my eyes: "How are you not yet?"

"I just want you to be happy" was the reaction I got. Seeing these just makes me want to fight harder for the people who don't get that reaction.

I came out to my good friend from work who I’d only known for about a year and a half, and she was like, “yeah. I know. I’ve known since we’ve met and I’ve just been waiting for you to tell me” and I’m was shocked. I told her, “And you couldn’t have told me?! I’ve been in identity crisis for YEARS and you just…knew???” Basically the same thing with my uncles. They were like, “I’m not surprised. I’ve had the thought since you were 12 (I came out at 24 to them)”

Im honestly never planning to come out to my family, and watching these make me cry. I wrote something close to a coming out note on this website will self-destruct. It was the best thing I've ever done. You don't have to come out if your unsafe or you just don't want to. It's A ok.

The guy coming out to his Italian parents was so wholesome😭🥰

It's always nice to watch these💛 Apparently rant coming up: I had the 'classical' bi coming out (I wasn't kicked out or disowned but they told me they were disappointed with me and it's a phase and they cried (you probably heard that before)) But that was only with my parents. The rest was really accepting (aunts and uncles don't know yet). At first it hurt, but then I got over it and now it's a bummer for them that they feel this way. I'm gonna try to love someone one day and I hopefully won't run away this time because of my trust issues (I was ghosted by 2 seperate best friends overnight at different times) and trauma (first kiss was sxual harassment, but that is NOT the reason I'm also into girls mom). It is hard to think my mom will never be at my wedding and things like that (she's terminally ill from a brain tumor) because if I meet the right woman, maybe she could've changed her mind.

i hadn't had great coming out experiences but watching these really made me tear up i'm so happy for them 🥺🥺

2:36 When that mom suddenly went "Não chora! Por que tá chorando?" my brain got confused for a second, cause that's Brazilian Portuguese, my native language, and I wasn't expecting that, haha! That's means "Don't cry! What are you crying for?", btw

Although it was kinda nice being able to put a rainbow in the window without worrying about hate crimes so...there is that?

this video makes me so happy. i love to see all these people with their accepting parents, because when i came out my dad wasn't. i really really want there to be a world where everyone can look back at them coming out and remember it as a great moment, because that's something everyone deserves

I came out to my mom and she told me I wasn't old enough to know who I like, luckily everyone else was very supportive, I'm thankful to have those friends...

On one hand it's really heartwarming, on the other hand I really wish coming out like that didn't need to be a thing anymore, not sure about how others will react :(

For anyone that wants a translation of the second TikTok, here you go! "I told my mom that I am bisexual" "It was difficult for me to tell her through conversation" (in smaller text: "I was very nervous") "I thought for a long time about how to tell her." "And it occurred to me to do it like this" (through the sign) And from the looks of it, it went well! Very happy for her 😊

at like 8:50 jammi was like "i cant wait for the point kids dont have to worry about not being loved when coming out", and tbh, yes but also, i cant wait for the point we dont have to come out anymore. And its just casual conversation stuff. With many of these parents in this video it would have already been like that. And that is just awesome to see.

The Italian dad really got me. So much emotion.

When I came out about my sexuality my parents just sat there and said “Okay. Does that mean you don’t believe in god either?” A year later, on my birthday I was outed about my gender identity and my family is transphobic so that was fun.
