Venting I Guess

RJ

Ok so i came out one drunken night (about a year ago) to my parents. The next day my mom talked to me about it while we were sober. I haven’t dated girls, just guys. My mom sometimes acts like i’m straight and other times she acknowledges my bisexuality subtly. Sometimes i feel accepted and sometimes i feel unaccepted. I grew up in church and my mom used to be very religious but she has chilled out these past few years. Sometimes my parents say homophobic things and I always have to remind them that those things hurt me. I have a older sister who is Lesbian and they don’t really accept that but my mom is always nice and welcoming to her gfs so that’s nice to see.

So one time i really felt seen was when me and my mom were in the movie theater and the trailer for Love, Simon came on. My mom usually complains about homosexuality being thrown in our faces. But she looked at me with this huge smile and said “We have to go see that!” I hold on to that moment all the time. :)

Idk why but i just felt like telling someone this lol I have no one to talk to about this
