Awesome! I’m really happy for you!
Chances are, if you’re gay most everyone else you know already knows you’re gay before you tell them. Telling them you’re gay only confirms what they already believed. Don’t be surprised because other people weren’t.
If you’re a teenager they’re probably really happy because having a gay kid seems less threatening than a straight kid who’s dating, as it’s unlikely anyone will impregnate you (if you’re a girl), or vice versa if you’re a guy.
That aside, it’s good they’ve accepted you, although I don’t think it’s always just so obvious to anyone at all when one has homosexual tendencies (if one doesn’t act “stereotypically gay”), but if they’re not the clueless type of parents they may have noticed things like you having a crush on someone of the same gender.
(If you’re a girl, kudos to them, because it can be much harder to tell if girls are straight, bi, or lesbian, considering females don’t adopt a “gay voice” like some guys do, and females are often really affectionate with one another even when they’re totally straight. Plus females comment on how attractive other girls are, even when they don’t want to date them, etc.)
Parents usually know (or suspect) if you’re gay in advance, i mean, after all they live right next to you most of the time (depending on your age). Since they took it fairly well maybe you should just take the win without overthinking it… i mean, you got like a good outcome i guess? nothing wrong about that, specially if you’re happy about it (congrats!).
Well as already stated in this post. When a person is Gay. Usually other people can tell in most cases. But I have to say that I am happy for you that your parents took this well and that you were able to tell them openly without any pain. I know for sure > that when a man comes out as being gay it is NOT and easy thing to do in most cases. Especially a long time ago. I grew up in the 70”s and back then > people in many places weren’t able to come out publically. Since then the world has become more open to the the gay lifestyle and now I believe its a lot easier for people to do so. I wish you the best
Congratulations.
I’m still far too afraid to.
