[QUOTE=fishyfish777;43781301]i don't think i've ever had any reason to come out its not particularly something that comes up in normal conversation[/QUOTE] This really. I have no plans to come out to my parents, maybe my siblings because i really don't see a 'need'. If you're straight you don't need to come out and tell your parents "mom....dad...i like vagoos". My parents don't need to know about my sex life unless its incredibly relevant. I don't need to tell them who i want to fuck or have a relationship with. Maybe later if i meet someone who becomes very important in my life then sure. But until then i don't see a point. I may come out to my siblings though just because i know my sister would love to take me to bars and be her wingman, my brother obviously not so much, but at least my sister, i know she'd actually get a kick out of taking me to bars and i wouldn't mind hanging out with her. I have to explain this in detail at times because it just baffles people that i don't see a point in coming out unless necessary. I always get people going like "but it's a secret you keep from them!" i'm not keeping a secret, it's not a secret, people know i'm gay but i never told my parents because there's no reason to. Even if it were a secret that still isn't a legitimate reason to come out, everyone has a secret in some way or form and you don't tell everyone, i don't need to tell them everything about my life. I do remember though after explaining this to a close friend of mine who thought i had to tell my parents, that he changed his viewpoint and realized that there really wasn't a need to tell my parents, unless needed.

[QUOTE=SeamanStains;43784247]I hate hebridean islands. They are so bleak they creep me out. Galloway will do I think.[/QUOTE] Are you kidding me, they're great. I was in the Inner Hebrides, particularly Eigg and Canna. They're big and empty with great beaches. It was like 30+ and clear skies and extremely green with lush forests and green grass everywhere.

Those must be such boring places.

I actually explained this to one of my gay friends and he became furious with me for being a self-hating gay and for basically giving the entire gay community a bad name. He wouldn't even try to understand my point of view - he just kept going off accusing me of all that stuff and I had no way to defend myself because he wouldn't let me. Some people are really a piece of work.

shit my phone screen cracked time to get it repaired on ebay for like $40

Soon, very soon, comes Rockford's ChernobylMode, where the days are about 1c and manage to soften and melt the snow, but the night freezes it. The snow reveals all of the garbage and chunks of natural detritus. It's disgusting, but it signals springtime.

Some people are really a piece of work.[/QUOTE] I had a human sexuality class last semester where i was explaining this to the class and a few other gay classmates hopped in going "but THEY RAISED YOU YOU OWE IT TO THEM" or going on about how "i'm just in denial about telling my parents", and more along the self loathing gay part. I literally just said "everytime you get a handjob or have awesome sex with your partner, regardless of sex, did you call your mom and dad and tell them about it?" "why would i?" "BECAUSE THEY RAISED YOU AND FED YOU AND YOU OWE IT TO THEM TO NOT KEEP SECRETS!" It shut most of the class up who were against my decision to come out only when it's actually needed. Other than that it's just an aspect about my life that you can know about me, but you don't have to in order to know me.

I don't discuss it with them because privately they are pretty bigoted and traditional due to the way they were brought up. It would just get used as ammunition in the long run.

I told since I just wanted to get it out of the way. And it was also the first brave thing I did in my life :v:

I can't wait until it's spring :x

Me too, I want snow to be gone so I can clean my car daily and install my go-fast parts for the 2014 season.

Lower PA's getting even more snow tomorrow, then even more more snow over the weekend.

[QUOTE=mysteryman;43784932]Lower PA's getting even more snow tomorrow, then even more more snow over the weekend.[/QUOTE] I sort of get sad when people who haven't really experienced snow really want to come to a cold place where it snows a lot I'm sure it'd be fun to them, but living in snowy weather for close to six months of the year my entirely life gets so tiring that I don't have many good things to say about it any more :<

Yeah, getting 6 months of snow a year gets tiring really fast. Specially for a car/gun enthusiast. It's like only being able to part take in my hobbies during half the year.

Take up skiing and snowmobiling :)

[QUOTE=NoOnE#235;43785118]-snip nvm shitpost I'm not in a good place right now to formulate anything cohesive-[/QUOTE] I like how you snipped right when I clicked reply. Still I sort of agree that you should tell them, but like I said earlier, I'm only going to do it when there's no real way around it. After all, its pretty hard to hide that fact if your significant other is a guy. :v:

For me it was when I met someone and then I told my parents and they're like cool as long as you're happy we don't care. I'm really lucky lol

My mum said she was proud that I was able to summon up enough courage to come out (then proceeded to get distracted by me playing Fable) and my older sister was about the same. My little sister thought it was amazing and apparently she literally cheered the morning she found out. And my Gran just said she didn't really care :v: I think I got pretty lucky with my family too, they're all very open minded.

Naw. Snow is hellish and should only be enjoyed by people who live in mountainous areas or areas where it regularly melts after it gets annoying. Here in MN (and most canadians for that matter), the snow just doesn't melt. It's too cold for precipitation but when the heatwaves come, its JUST enough for a little bit of flurries to add on top of the mess. The same snow from November is still just chilling under feet of later-months cloud jizz. There's too much of it, and even when I'm bundled up I fall after every 20 feet because my entire leg sinks into it.

My mom was perfectly cool with it, nothing even changed one bit with her since I came out to her years back. My dad, never came out to him. And I live with him. (That's bond to change soon, as I'm moving in my house Saturday.)

But the price of one + registration makes it, god. Forget about skiing, I am horrible at it. Dislike it with a passion due to that too. We'll see next winter, either it's a winter beater, either it's a snowmobile. I mean, power lines just next to me.

I haven't washed it since September and I'm sure the road salt is having a field day.

My mom calls me fag a lot when she drinks and threatens to call all my redneck religious family members who don't know i'm gay when she's angry. :(

Ever heard about rust treatment/proofing. Not the black tar stuff they use at garage but the waxy oil they use at propper place, usually is between 80 and 150$ to treat the undercarriage and the insides of body panels/doors. Something that should be done yearly on cars that undergo any winters.

I always sort of figured I was late-ish compared to most people in coming out by doing it the day before my 18'th birthday, but it wasn't as much that I was afraid of the reaction as much as I just never really got around to it. I knew my parents wouldn't make a big fuzz about it, I predicted that my little brother would think we were all joking for two days tho, hah. Maybe I should stop posting.

-sounds like bragging, snip-

Also my mum said she's thinking of seeing if she can get me into some driving lessons for my birthday. So I'll probably be dead in about 7 months :v:

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;43785406]-sounds like bragging, snip-[/QUOTE] having a car and a license seems like a lot of freedom at least <: that's something that I'm looking forward to most of all is not being restricted to walking or taking the bus to travel anywhere

I drove a stickshift pickup truck on the freeway literally the day I passed my permit test.
