Coming Out Story »

I was 18, from Texas, and i was about to move to NYC to go to acting school. i had come to the realization that i was gay, after a complicated relationship with my best friend Jessica. i never thought i would come out to my mother. i never could imagine what her reaction would be. my best friend kyle had recently come out and he was my total inspiration. we were at a restaurant called Pappadauxs the day before i was supposed to leave for NYC. while we where waiting for our table i decided it was time. my whole family was there, my older sister, brother, father, mother, aunt, little sister and as well as my best friend Kyle’s family, my best friend Chelsea. Which everyone knew but my family, and i had to tell my mother. She is the only one who has meant anything to me always. i knew it was time, to tell my my mother as hard as it would be. i am from Texas and i have lived thier below the bible belt for 18 years. Raised as a southern baptist it was hard enough. So we were waiting, and i was about a pack of cigarettes in, but it was time. I said to my mother, “hey mom come with me”..and she came…i told her that i loved her and nothing would ever changed that and it felt like i was lying to my best friend..and i told her. “Ilike boys mom..im Gay..”….and her first response was that i thought that she was my best friend..and that meant the world to her. i haven’t been closer to my mother, and the rest of my family knows that im gay and they love me none the less…Blood is thicker than water and I can protest to that..no matter what happens your family is the only thing that matters. i am from Texas and it is possible to come out to the most conservative of families. Me and my mom are closer than any of my other siblings. I love my mother, and she is my rock.
