Many of my friends don't really ask me much about my love life, and I appreciate that. But soon, I know that I'll have to come out and tell them the truth about both my sexuality and the girl that I know I'll be spending the rest of my life with, if all goes well.
I just don't know how to come out with it in a way that will result in no hate. My mother is openly opposing of gay and lesbian couples, and I'm seen as the one in the family with so many expectations. My sisters don't know yet, but have made it clear that no matter what, they'll love me for who I am.
I'm in between a rock and a hard place here.

It is always a hard choice when it comes to telling your family about your sexuality, especially when you know how they feel about it.
Yet, you never know what to expect because in alot of cases family always change the way people see things.
At least that is how i hope it goes. If family can't open your eyes about the world, then who will?

You are in a difficult situation, but you have to be true to yourself.

@MEAngle I can understand that, but you never know - your mother may have worked it out for herself.
I have a friend whose son is gay, and he agonised and agonised about how to tell her, and when he eventually plucked up the courage she just said - "that's ok, I've known for years."

@enlightenedpsych2 It would be great if all parents were so accepting.
