I came out to my mother...

[Lady Kayura]

Got a pride protest in December I hope to go to. Well, today I got a wedding invite for a cousin's wedding on the same day. I shared this with my mother. She then, rather suddenly, asked if I was gay. I said no. Asked if I was bi. I said yes.

She asked if I was serious. I said yes. She asked a couple of other questions.

Then laughed hysterically.

We got in the car (since I was driving her to her doctor's visit) and she asked a couple more questions between these laughing spurts. As if somehow me being bi is the most hilarious thing ever.

I must admit, I was not amused. -_-

Your Neglected Sex Toy

She needs to think it over, you know it's an obvious shock for her, since majority of parents never in life could ever think of their children being someone else than "straight". Anyway, could you tell what questions were that?
I mean, when in a little shock, she may not have even realised she was doing something inappropriate in a way, but I think she will chill out soon and will be okay with that. Good luck with that!

I like to think that it is a shock and that she's never considered an alternative to straight..

But that isn't true. She told me that a cousin had predicted I was bi. So clearly they'd discussed it.

I'm hoping I won't have to see her for a couple of weeks until she's less obnoxious about it.

she might be laughing because she expected it from you. be happy that she didnt throw a fit or disown you like some parents will do. plus asking questions about it tends to be a good thing, it shows that she is interested and wants to learn a bit more about you and your bisexualness. at least thats what i think, you know your mother better than any of us do.

personally if i ever have a lgb child and they come out to me i would probably laugh too because i would kind of expect it since im bi and from what ive read it can be genetic

anyways, congrats to coming out to your mother! biggrin

She asked "what would you do if I were angry" as we were driving to her doctor's.

I told her "I'd drop your a** off back home and go get sushi which is what I'd rather be doing now anyway." >_>

She just continued with her laughing. It was almost manic. Not the good natured haha sort of laughing.

If you need anything, message me.
And at worst, cut ties to her.

im not really sure what to think about that.

the reaction my dad had was just saying ok then not talking for a while, something most people would assume is a bad sign, but since i know my dad well i know that that was the best reaction from him

Just be glad she is laughing and not disowning you.

I second that. My mom would disown me, which is why I want to move out before any relationships. The only people I'm out to are my sisters because they're understanding.

She can't disown me. I'm the only one that has days off in the week to get her to her doctor's appointments. She needs more more than I need her. She knows that.

I got a similar reaction when I hinted that I'm genderqueer. My grandma acted like it's not something serious or normal, and she laughed.
