That's like one of the worst things I've read in a long time. I'm so sorry.

Good luck with everything.

[DMBstandUP1984]

Good Luck OP. I'm sure you will know the right time to do it and everything will workout for the best

And

Manning > Brady

[SmoothD41]

Good for you and best of luck....as someone else mentioned, I obviously don't know you or your parents at all, but I think there's a decent chance they already know this and are waiting for you. Parents are intuitive.

[jcc522]

A) good luck
2) your parents already know
d) Tell your parents before anyone else in the family but wait until tomorrow

considering the underlined, the hint is that you aren't bringing home any girls

Jeep kid, just leave. You really have no business being in this thread. Don't turn into a shit show like every other thread you ruin.

zaj, just go ahead a fuck yourself. If I bother you that much, put me on ignore.

I offered my best wishes and made the same observation that many other posters in this thread made.

Good for you man. This takes courage I am sure. Serious question though: have you had to hide a more feminine voice tone and will that change once you don't give a fuck what people think?

Being gay doesn't mean you have a feminine voice.

[diableri]

I assume the previous posters have given good advice, it's what I would say as well from my place of ignorant but good intentions. Best of luck with this OP. I can't pretend to truly understand what needing to hide such a big part of life is like but always glad when anyone is able to get through such a barrier. Just someone else wishing you and your family all the best.

I would say not at all...I cringe when I hear people talk like that

This is one of the more ignorant posts I've ever seen. I don't know whether to laugh or be sad for you.

Great question.

Also, YDMB41, have you been tucking your feather boa under your shirt or just wearing a large coat over it?

[CrashDMB237]

Just wondering OP, do you listen to Barbara Streisand around your friends? Will you be doing so once you come out to them? But seriously good for you man.

YDMB41, has it been difficult to hide your love of showtunes?

[CrashDMB237]

How have you been able to hide your gay lisp? Isn't that kind of a dead giveaway?

[barbogast]

OP, obviously you have a fabulous sense of fashion. Two part question:

a) has it been difficult to hide that while closeted?

b) now that you're out, you're obviously going to be the best dressed at all events going forward, yes?

[kydmb99]

OP has it been difficult to suppress the urge to prance instead of walk?

You're the bro that supports drinking and driving right?
Christ.

[AlpineValley804]

OP, do you feel more comfortable adding Brokeback Mountain to your favorite movies on Facebook?

Regardless if your parents know or not already, I'd do it asap. Clearing the air will make you feel better, and you can move on. Best of luck OP

I was all-state football in high school, also played baseball, literally never had a GF in high school. Never saw the point in it. I'm getting married to a woman in....*checks watch*.......26 days.

Not bringing home girls in high school despite doing masculine things =/= gay.
