I essentially wasn't ready to come out. My mom was the first to ask me about it. She at first denied it, but didn't reject it. To my surprise she was very accepting and just told me to make sure i knew this was really what i was. She wanted to know that me being a lesbian wasn't just a phase ( I think a lot of parents think that at first). She said she would know as time goes on. Now she knows but its still a sensitive subject, I'm Lucky enough to have a mother who is accepting. Cant really say the same for the rest of my family though.. but other than that my coming out was a pretty smooth transition.
