So when I came out to my mother about a year ago. I came out to her as bi (just to see how she'd react first.) Then about 3-4 months later I told my mother that I was actually gay and that I don't get attracted to girls past wanting to be friends with them. But ever since I came out to her as being bi she'd try and fix me up with girls or she'd see a girl and be like "oh she is cute." and other things.

Now the other day my friend from a different state is visiting here till July 27th and when he came over I told him. Well my mom was there and so was one of my brother's friends. Well my brother didn't know I was gay (at the time) and then my mom kept texting me and getting mad at me over it. So just before I get home my mother tells my brother I am gay and then proceeds to yell at me and not believing I am gay because I have yet to have a sexual relationship with a girl.

I am a virgin and if I even see a girl naked (which I have 2-3 times before) I get queasy (and at one time soft. Thanks puberty...) and I told my mother that and she doesn't believe me. So I was just wondering what I should do with this, because I am starting to get really annoyed with my mother at the fact she doesn't believe me when I knew I was gay for a good 4 years now...

If you do have an answer please do post it and thanks if you do.

Alright, let's see if I understood this correctly.

your mother wants you to like girls, but you obviously don't. You have told her that you're gay, and she reacted negatively over this.

On the other hand, was she the one who told your borther you're gay? Because that is EXTREMELY insensitive of her. That is soemthing that should be exclusive to yourself.

And, if you're full-blownly gay, which you yet again obviously are, she should respect you, instead of doing what she is now, working against you.

You should sit down and talk to her, and express to her what you feel, in detail. So she understands exactly what you feel like, and how it is for you. If you do, you might be surprised how well they take it.

I agree with John, but make sure while you're talking with them to never be ashamed of who you are or let them bully you in to feeling guilty for being you.


Good luck, i hope it all works out for you

Yea, you got that correct. My mother keeps trying to get me to date girls. She even said I couldn't get my tongue pierced until I date my friend, and I am fully out to all of my friends as of last week. So my friend knows I don't date chicks.

Yea, my mother did tell my brother that. He told her while I was on a date actually. I got home and my mother was almost crying because of that. She was the same way when I came out to her. She never thought I was gonna tell me brother when I was actually gonna tell him that day...

Yes, I know she should but she won't. In fact my homophobic step-father respects me more then she does. At least he doesn't force me to date chicks and he was pretty cool when me and one of my exes came over.

As for the last part. I have many times, and when ever she approaches me and tells me what one of my friends she likes and thinks I should date. I tell her everything in the same tone she speaks to me in.
