Ive been struggling with telling my mom for a while, trying to say I'm gay. I always stop halfway and never can get the words out.
I'm 18 and very straight acting, the gayest thing I do is shave my legs. I think telling her will be a shock, she's a little religious and that makes me want to hold off a little.
Any tips?
Trust me, any mom worth her salt can tell if her son is gay. Especially if you have brothers
If telling her is very important to you, then you can't half ass it. Don't bring it up very casually in a quick second or worse, do it as part of a joke. Have a talk about it with her and emphasize that this is important to you and that it's something you've wanted to say for a long time
If you don't think you can ever find the perfect opportunity to do it, then create that opportunity yourself. If she really does care about you she'll hear you out

Ok. I dont think she'd know though
>>8142421
>i shave my legs
She knows you're gay
>>8142421
"I'm very straight acting"
"I shave my legs"
Hayyy gurlllll
>>8143863
it's not THAT gay.
i don't think a mom would see it that way.

How often do you crossdress?
>>8144022
not often
how is that relevant
>>8144036
Just wondering how GID you are. When do you imagine being a girl?
>>8144014
Are you a swimmer?
If not, it's pretty damn gay.
Also, are you 100% positive you'll get a good response? You're only 18, I assume you're starting college soon and not financially independent. Consider waiting if you think there's any chance they'll cut you off or kick you out.
>>8144062
i dont think im trans. i only occasionally think of myself as a girl during jerking off
>>8144069
im not a swimmer.
but i dont think a mom would think it's gay

Do you have any attraction to girls at all, besides envy?
>>8144107
not really? the faces are kinda nice maybe
why
>>8144117
AGPs are usually into girls. Off.
>>8144163
how does this relate to coming out to my mom '.'
>>8144168
We're low on our weekly quota of misdiagnosing people as a repressed tranny
>>8143852
how??
>>8144200
She just said she fantasies about being a girl.
>>8144321
i'm a he though
>>8144321
stop
>>8144322
Sure, okay, you get to identify however you like. If you don't want to start using female pronouns yet that's fine.
>>8144336
>yet
i'm not trans
>>8144340
I shouldn't have said that, sorry. You don't have to ever identify as trans if you don't want to.
>>8144349
IM NOT TRANS
at most im just a feminine gay guy.
>>8144404
how does that make me trans
>>8144411
Look, describe the times you crossdress or imagine you are a girl to jerk off.
>>8144427
a masculine man humiliating me while im submissive and he makes me dress like a girl to please him
Stop forcing every feminine man into trans!
The gay world needs much more feminine men!

I don't think she knows, I shave my legs and am straight. Anon is just saying that because that's a red flag for some.
>>8144485
what are other gay red flags?
>>8144069
It's not that gay, I do it. Why is hair manly? It's not a beauty thing, it's just easier to clean.
>>8144492
I've met guys with lots of girl friends that turned out to be gay, but signs your mom would see, not showing interest in girls.
Have you ever had a partner? What gender were they?
>>8142421
If you go off to college then tell her before you move to the dorms cause then she cant kick you out. If you don't move to the dorms, then just slowly build up to telling her eventually, as you're talking to her
>>8142421
If you love your mother, stay in closet as long as possible.
Finding out that her son is gay is the worst nightmare of any mother.
She will cry a lot a blame herself for bringing up an 'immoral pervert' with 'psychotrauma', that will never give her proper grandchildren.
True story.
>>8144529
This is a safe idea, but try not to lie to your mum.
She'll appreciate your honesty.
>>8144528
no. i tried to suck my friend's dick one time. he almost let me
>>8144537
ok..
>>8144529
she wouldn't kick me out. lets just say i know i wont be kicked out.
at worst she'd be really mean to me while i live there tho
real question though
do moms honestly ever suspect their kids of being homosexual? i've always thought they've had idealized views of their sons
>>8144485
>am straight
>/lgbt/
>>8144497
are you straight
