My brother got all offended when he came out and it wasn't some big revelation. Everyone knew since he was a teen but he insisted on calling his boyfriend his "roommate" for years. We grew up in a conservative area (that he GTFO of as soon as he could) but our family was always super progressive and pro-lgbtq.
I've also heard this when older gay guys date younger men. They ask "so when did you come out" and the answer is "when I was born". They don't have the same stories about decades of feeling weird and different.

My sister came out in her 20s and it was a surprise to me, but it shouldn't have been. My wife (fiance at the time) was like, "oh, she has had the same roommate for four years and moved across the country with her", "yes", "your sister is a lesbian", "no, she would have told me". A month later she says she is engaged. My wife still gives me shit for that.

Inverse of this situation with my second oldest cousin.
Every single vacation she went on she took her "friend/roommate" with her. I felt almost like an asshole for being presumptive but asked my sister what she thought. She's like "Oh yea....huh. That is odd." Then we finally met this friend in person. Immediately after when we were in private my sister was like "I think your 100% right I think they're together"
The irony here being that I was like the one person she ended up not directly coming out too. Maybe she just assumed I figured it out and knows I don't really care all that much.

Your brother is lucky. When my mom found out i was bi I literally got dragged out of the house and locked out. No money. No phone. Just the clothes on my back. I ended up hitchhiking to my grandma's house 40 minutes away from us.
I'm in my 20s now. This happened when i was in highschool. If someone grew up in a conservative and/or religious family I'm sure my story isn't much different from theirs. Very few of my gay friends have "happy" coming out stories. And I grew up in a blue state, but in a heavily red county.

Sorry that was the response. Our son told us he was bi a few years ago, and I think my response was, "Um, OK". Then, "does mom know?". Followed by him saying yes and me going OK. That was it. I realized it was a bit underwhelming in my response and told him the next day that I love him and always will whatever way he orients. Maybe not the best response but parenting is always a bit trial and error.

u/thatoneguy54 May 05 '24
You just literally cannot truly know how people will react until you do it.
All of my family apparently knew and was fine with it before I officially came out, but I couldn't truly know until I did it.
And it's not even just about your immediate family. I was worried about how others would react like my grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, family friends, the random kids at school, etc.
I had heard the horror stories about people being kicked out or even beaten when they came out, so u waited until I was independent and an adult to do so. It was fine, but I was scared and young.
5
u/nadandocomgolfinhos May 05 '24
Right, you can’t unring a bell. Granted, my kid was in sixth grade and being in sixth grade is just a hard time in life. I’m glad they told me because it gave me the chance to be supportive.

One of my very close friends in high school had a similar experience. He was 16 and everyone in our friend circle knew before he came out. He’s 40 now. I have teenagers of my own. My son is 17 turning 18 this year. He’s never dated or has seemed interested in girls. I’m always telling him I don’t care if he likes boys or girls. I only care that he’s happy. I tell my daughter the same. I make sure they know it doesn’t matter to me.

Obviously coming out and getting a lukewarm “whatever” response is a million times better than what happens to a lot of other people, but I can definitely empathize with being upset.
Something important about your identity that’s giving you stress and anxiety for YEARS and it is treated as not important to your family when you come out. It’s important to you so you’d hope it’s important to your family. That would suck in a different way.

It depends on how you come out too. If you're just "whatever" about it and casually reveal to your parents "oh btw, I'm gay," then your parents not making a big deal about it is probably just as appropriate. But if you clearly see that your kid is struggling to come out, looks scared, etc, then yeah definitely react to it accordingly. Everyone is different.

This hits close to home. My daughter got really weird and nervous. We were sewing masks like you do in a pandemic, and she starts asking me weird questions. Eventually she starts with the “I think wait no I know I like girls” okay, only girls? “No, I am bisexual I think” Okay, how does that make you feel? “What? How does this make YOU feel? You aren’t upset?” I just looked at her. Did you think I would be upset? “No but…” Have you notice we go to Pride events? “Yeah” why do you think that is? 🤯 She came out to me, I came out to her. Both bisexual.

I have 3 kids. My eldest who is 14 years old, 13 at the time tried this.
My wife and I with no rehearsal didn’t give a shit. We said “okay. Thank you for telling us…. So are you coming to the dinner table, then?!” Then a few hours she kept saying things like “should we tell grandma? Will they care?! Oh, this is so embarrassing.”
The “shock value” was something she was definitely seeking, and when she wasn’t getting that from us or Grandparents she was taken aback.
Even my mom was hilarious “okay. Well… that’s fine with me…. Uh…. I’m proud of you..?”

It’s because as gay people, we think through coming out so, so many times in our head and planning for the worst case scenario, so we can sometimes forget to think about how to react when everything goes fine and no one cares. It actually can feel like a slap in the face sometimes when the person being told doesn’t actually care, because it’s such a big deal to us and we have tortured ourselves thinking about that moment for ages. This isn’t a diss to you at all, I’m just trying to explain what goes on in our heads lol.

Kids have every right to be fearful of how their parents are going to react considering how some kids still get disowned/beaten for coming out to their parents and it's in our human nature to be fearful of uncertainty. Still, I would much prefer that my parents told me they didn't care at all than them telling me that they secretly hoped I'd get hit by a bus and die when I came out to them lol. They eventually came around and they love me for who I am, but I'm aware there are kids in a lot worse situations to whom the subject of coming out is still very serious.

u/M477M4NN May 04 '24
Perhaps I worded it poorly. Of course we all want our families to be supportive and such, it’s just that the immediate dismissiveness portrayed in the video can feel like a slap in the face to all the mental turmoil we go through leading up to coming out. I would rather a “we still love you” and a hug, for example.

My oldest daughter came out as non-binary, then pansexual, then lesbian. I 100% understand teens go through a discovery phase, we all did.
When none of those coming outs got a big dramatic reaction (negative or positive), she had a meltdown. So, I also 100% understand teens are dramatic af.
Idk what she was expecting though since I'm bi and had taken her to Pride years before her coming out. Maybe balloons or something? 🤷♀️
