How can I tell my Mom that I'm a lesbian?

hey look, if my kids announced they were gay, I would get used to it and I’d still love them loads- maybe more, to make up for the stick the world would often be shaking at them :-) I think I might be really sad at first, and it would take time for me to learn to get used to them being gay. if its any consolation- its usually easier to be accepted as a lesbian than a gay. How would you tell her- well I would do it gradually, say things like- ‘I’m not really into boys, Mom” - you could say that sort of thing when your Mom says things like ‘look at Tommy, he’s such a nice boy’. Then you could sart to say things like “I much prefer hanging with girls’ This will get her wondering, and give her time to contemplate the fact that you MIGHT be a lesbian. It wont be such a shock when you do tell her. If your mom is shocked- then thats all it is- ‘shock’. Its not really a personal attack on you- thats what you have to remember. So let her be shocked, and then she can begin to get used to the idea- and only then will you be able to talk with her about it. Be prepared for your Mom to freak out, work out the best way for you to react before hand. eg calmly walk away and leave her to ponder things on her own for a while. If you dont prepare for her being upset, then you will be really hurt. If she doesnt freak out, then great!
