Who did you come out to?

When I was about 15, my aunt was asking me why I didn't have a girlfriend and my mom said, "Because he's gay". I had never said a word to her about it, and it blew me away that she was so matter-of-fact and casual. My aunt regrouped immediately and asked me, "Well then why don't you have a boyfriend?" My family being the way they are, everyone knew within a few days. There really wasn't much reaction. It wasn't as exciting as my cousin getting busted for cooking meth lol. My parents were divorced by then, and when my dad found out he blamed my mom. He wasn't pleased, but since I hardly ever saw him, it didn't much matter.

If asked, I tell the truth, but I can't say I've ever made an issue of telling people. It comes up or it doesn't.
