Since I was forteen, almost three and a half years ago, I started thinking I liked boys. I didn't know my type at first, so I thought it was wrong, about a year into it, I thought oh, that's cute. etc etc.. So fast foward to 6-7 months ago, I had a dream, and I told my mom about it as we were in the car. Then I said how I was gay. She tried convincing me, maybe hoping it was just a phase I was going. But my feelings have been more prominent, it feels like work is the only place I can be myself. I get told every so often that "Men shouldn't do that.." bla bla bla. Just today my dad said "So Bill, I'm glad you have been acting normal, like the person I remember." It bothered me to death, I don't know what it was. I need help, I don't know what to do, My dad and brother are anti-gay it seems. Sometimes I just feel like saying "I'm gay, you can stop telling me I can't do that please. Thanks." My mom says when she's in a bad mood with me, "You treat strangers nicer than your own mother." It's sort of obvious when the people you work with don't care about who you are, and don't restrict you. Does anyone have any experience like this?
