Dear anyone who reads this,
Lately i been trying to sit down and talk to my mom about my sexuality. Thought I know for certain she does not agree with it. She is a basic black christian woman who believes in God. So today I sat down with and talked about it. She has thing where she picks her phone and not pay attention to me when I bring it up. Every time I start to talk to her about she would ALWAYS bring God into it. God this...Good that. It is pretty annoying. I tried that I am confuse and that I actually Bisexual. She thinks that I can confused and just because I am 17 with no life experience. What should I do? Should I just wait it out until I am in college? Or should I show her I am not confused?
Love, Jamori

When I walked into my moms kitchen and told her I was gay she told me she wasn’t bothered that she loved me either way, she told her friend who then told me that infact my mother thought it was disgusting and even though she tells me she doesn’t care I’m gay lol she does.
I’m older and I’m a long term relationship and it’s nothing been easy but I know who I am now but at one time I did t and I just went with what was expected.
You should not do what is expected of you by your mother you need to be true to yourself and you don’t need to prove anything to anyone, religion played a huge part in my partners life and it caused a lot of damage so don’t allow that to happen to you. Embrace who you are and cherish it and live your life with who you please irrespective of whether they are .
You are who god intended you to be and nothing less as no god should discriminate.

Hi Jamori, Coming out can be difficult, especially when it comes to family. It think it's fantastic you have the courage to talk to your mum about it. You can only continue being your open, honest and authentic self with her. Brummie16 gives really great advice. There is a factsheet full of advice about how to come out on the LGBT HERO site here: www.lgbthero.org.uk/how-to-come-outThere are also helplines and services on the page which you can contact if you want to talk it through further with someone. Thank you for posting about this here and good luck on your journey. Please post again if you need us. LGBT HERO.
