Hi all! I'm fairly new around here (been reading mostly) but I wanted to share that I came out to my parents. I told my husband a few years ago. We have 3 children so I was worried about my parents reaction as they've become much more conservative since becoming grandparents. I told my mom while I was driving (I'm so the type that traps people in the car to tell them things), she was 100 percent fine with it and join finding out I hadn't picked a name started making suggestions. (I have a name now). She asked if she could tell my dad and I said yes. Then I dropped her off. A few hours later my dad Facebook messaged me and said he loved and supported me 100 percent! I couldn't believe how well it went. My mom was actually confused about why I thought she would be mad
Much love!
Erik

Thanks all.
In regards to my husband, he has been great. He was bisexuals to begin with and he's just been rolling with the punches!
