It's always easier if you open the door first.

Dont make a big deal out of it. Just come out with it and let that be the end of it.

or in some cases leave the door closed and shout... the truth will set you free...

[reofix]

courage will set you free... ps they already know!!

Im from a very religious family, I already have a male partner but it just scares me knowing that they will think odd of me.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[_STAIN_]

yeah man sometimes it's real hard telling your mum you own a motorbike

[rainman]

Many years ago, a mate of mine had the same dilemma. His mom wasn't particularly religious, just really conservative. Anyway, after agonising over this for ages, he finally plucked up the courage, got her full attention (y'know, Mom, there's something I need to tell you...) and dropped the bombshell. Her response was "Is there any medication you can take for that?"

Odd how it wasn't that funny at the time.

Just tell them, I reckon there will be some shit, snot, and tears, but love will/should win out in the end. Anyway, better than pretending to be something you're not.... (Unless of course the religion in question involves burning gays at the stake. Then pretend to be mucho hetero :) )

Oh, and happy 2009, all.

[pixc]

talk to the 'soft one' first. Maybe get abit of support from another family member just to reasure you.

[Max Preload]

yeah man sometimes it's real hard telling your mum you own a motorbike

Especially a Honda... :oi-grr:

[Donor]

Introduce the olds to your man.

Have him shake mums hand and give dad a deep tongue kiss.

Voila - they'll appreciate the gesture, AND work it out for themselves.

[motorbyclist]

i dunno, my partner, drider87, is a good friend of the family and is still "in the closet" about this....

[Gremlin]

Tell them you like fudge... and packing it :dodge:

[discotex]

I guess you've missed the opportunity to give mum and dad Brokeback Mountain for xmas as a hint.....

[Ghost_Bullet]

Just tell them, tey will either deal with it and understand, or otherwise. As long as you are stable within your own situation then all will be find. I have young kids, and as you do, think of the furture and what may become, and honestly, if you situation occured there is little you can do to change it, and without alianating you just have to deal and undestand. Each to there own in my opinion.

Life happiness is the most important. make the most of it!

got some pink jackets ???

[gijoe1313]

Crikey, is there any support networks you can contact that may have some good advice, I'm sure there must be a phoneline or point of contact that you can ring ... rest assured that you aren't the only person thats gone through or will be going through this (not that it helps you any!)

You're an intelligent young lad, I'm sure you can apply some thought and creativity to this sensitive subject - good on ya for taking steps in your life to try and be more open.

A tetchy subject I agree when you factor in your parental units background and upbringing. But, y'know ... life is too short to go skulking around ashamed to be who you are.

You got your whole life ahead of you, go ahead and be brave enough to follow through the highs and lows it will take you! :yes:

What's the worse that could happen? You get thrown out, disowned and never spoken to or about ever again? The best that could happen? Acceptance and loving you all the same for who you have always been!

What he said.

Lovely to see all the sincere and supportive responses though.

:laugh:

[Nasty]

As long as you are prepared for all reactions you will be fine ... your parents if they have smarts probably already know .. even if they don't realise it ... it may just click for them ...

The religous aspect is something which they have to deal with .. and it is their choice as to their level of acceptance ...

Do it in your own time and at your own pace ... and as I said be prepared ...

[smurfee]

take them camping to here....they may get the message.

[smurfee]

well..howling by themselves. Its not funny, not mean, its not ...nothing. Maybe immature.

[rodimus]

Or, Maybe they've got this little curiosity in the back of their mind for relative reasons.

[Grahameeboy]

Im from a very religious family, I already have a male partner but it just scares me knowing that they will think odd of me.

My parents think I am odd and I am straight so in a way the issue of you being Gay is not really the problem..if that makes sense...parents always want their kids to meet their expectations or what is normal and forget that there there is no normal.

If they think you are odd then that is there problem not yours..it's your life not their's..at first I am sure they will be horrified (no offence to Gay's) but the main thing is that you have told them and somewhere inside they will respect that...

Just remind them that you were created in God's image...image of what he wants for you...

[Grahameeboy]

got some pink jackets ???

Always seeing a sales opportunity eh......maybe a new range called "GAYiMOTO"....lol

[jrandom]

and damn GIJOE...thats the only post of yours I've been able to read in one sitting.

[Pixie]

......I am at my wits end.

As was the gay,medieval king.

[tri boy]

You should of been at Vinegar hill,

[Grahameeboy]

As was the gay,medieval king.

King Arthur was straight........

[Max Preload]

Lovely to see all the sincere and supportive responses though.

Certainly tells us who is borderline... :eek5:

[nosebleed]

King Arthur may have been... but his boyfriend was definately gay!

[Usarka]

King Arthur was straight........

Rubbish he became king after pulling on someone elses sword.

He then went furniture shopping not because his missus made him but because he wanted to, and against all the advice of his male friends bought a "round" table. Not square or conformist. But fabulous.


It'll go just fabulous in the knight's board room darling, and I can snuggle up nice and close to lancey-poo

[Scouse]

Just tell them strait up that your an arse bandit ,if they say "what" you can then say you like to lick the brown star, if they again say "what" say "I'm a fookin chutney Ferret a fudge-packer a purveyor of the chocolate oyster" if they still don't get it then that will be because they are in denial hope this helps.

[Owl]

Always seeing a sales opportunity eh......maybe a new range called "GAYiMOTO"....lol

HOMOMOTO slip's off the tongue better!:yes:

[Indiana_Jones]

Just go, "mum, dad.....I love Honda's and Top Gun......."

-Indy

[Oakie]

(Assuming this isn't a New Year's piss-take) ... My uncle is gay and religious. (I am neither incidentally). When he realised he was gay about 50 years ago he decided that God made him that way for a purpose so he went into the ministry (Presbyterian I believe) and has remained gay until this day. I'm not suggesting that you take holy vows or anything but perhaps taking the track that God made you this way and that you need to follow it through to find out why may help with your family.

If they get all hot, heavy and emotional you can throw this little gem in ... "Well at least I know God still loves me even if you don't".

Good luck.

[Scouse]

Or you could be more subtle with this method. If some male film star or sports personality is on the TV you should extend a limp wrist and say "Ooooo he's sooooooo devine" then promptly go over to the TV and lick the screen.

[The Pastor]

i dunno, my partner, drider87, is a good friend of the family and is still "in the closet" about this....

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? was I just a summer fling then? :spanking:

[Scouse]

Or say to your Mom " Mom thanks for the Chrismas Fudge that you have made for us all but the sort of Fudge that I like has to be fresh and served at 36.5 degrees C and smells a bit like poo".

[fire eyes]

welll ... ummmmmmmmmm .... hmmmmmmmm ... no comment

[The Stranger]

Um odd question but I want to come out to my family and dont know how. Does anyone have any advice on the best way to go about it. I am at my wits end.

Probably best you log off KB before you leave your computer.

[motorbyclist]

ok, as fun as this has been (no point is ending it until everyone left) it's about time i brought this to an end:

no i'm not gay, nor is my family religious

dunno about drider (thread starter) though.... he can be a worry at times.....


Probably best you log off KB before you leave your computer.

well, it would appear my password is saved too....:doh:


perhaps next time i'll simply hide the power cable



though i did enjoy adding this little gem:

i dunno, my partner, drider87, is a good friend of the family and is still "in the closet" about this....
funny how all of a sudden he thought we should delete the thread:shifty:

[carver]

Send em carvers new mormon vid and they might start wondering !!

Is our son ............... riding a jog ? :buggerd::gob:

the scooter is just the start of the problems

[MidnightMike]

Fukin KB classic. Hilarious. :rofl:

[fireliv]

Here I was thinking poor lil boy, gay and worried.

LOL nice one :wari:

[Oakie]

Har har har. Did sound too bad to be true.

[Slyer]

This thread is GOLD.
Scouse you are fucking hilarious.
You just don't learn Andrew. :D

[Usarka]

Maybe he's trying to tell you something :innocent: :buggerd:

[Owl]

ok, as fun as this has been (no point is ending it until everyone left) it's about time i brought this to an end:


Ok...so yeah, twas me that um started the thread but I got blindsided by there little addition with me in there. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!:innocent:

Bling to both of ya! I had a few good laughs out of that!:rofl:

[Colapop]

Butt butt butt... I thought... oh, sorry... I was wrong...

[normajeane]

Tell them you like fudge... and packing it :dodge:

WEELLL, why tell them? Have they not guessed yet. Is there a problem you have to let them know about?? If you are really serious about telling "them" call a meeting with you and your partner fronting up. No mucking about, tell them square that you are "in love" and "serious" about the relationship. Have your partner there to help.
Have an escape route planned...
It will be on your terms and not mucking around with say the family BBQ. They could always leave and save face rather than having to tell all the "other" guests to leave (or dashing off into a room and crying/stamping/punching the wall)
Seriously, my step brother was "sent away" when he was forced to "come out" cause found in toilets with another, and parents were appalled. Dunno if it would be worse telling on your terms or having to find out through authorities.

[normajeane]

Butt butt butt... I thought... oh, sorry... I was wrong...

You bad man:2guns:

[Swoop]

Bollocks.
There would have been plenty of pillows being bitten...:shit:

Bloody Honda riders.

[Ixion]

You do both realise, that neither of you will ever be quite able to shake off the insinuation of this thread. The KB collective memory is long.

And, coming on top of the Oyster Farm Incident -- well ---

[Squiggles]

And, coming on top of the Oyster Farm Incident -- well ---

Awesome, hopefully a musical version of this'll be released later just as we had for said oyster farm incident (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showpost.php?p=1808178&postcount=1)

[Headbanger]

i'm not gay,


You are now, gayboy.

[gammaguy]

being loved for who you really are is far better than keeping a facade in order to stay loved.in fact thats not real love at all is it?

if your partner really cares he will stand by you if others are intolerant and abandon you.

its all about choices.you can choose who you spend your life with,but not your relations.

[Ixion]

You see. You can run back into the closet , but so many saw you peeking out. Denial is fruitless.

[ital916]

haha crack up.

[Hitcher]

Closets generally contain women's clothing. One wonders why the stigma of going into one in the first place is greater than that of coming out.

[Cr1MiNaL]

I knew it with the long hair and all... Is DriRider the guy? or sometimes your the guy and he's the girl or your the girl and he's the guy... Whatever floats your boat.

[speights_bud]

.....nws!.....
