    To the people who asked how old i am i`m 30 still living with my mum. Please see my other thread on chronic fatigue syndrome. It very hard to find a boyfriend when you not living alone.

    Difficult but not insurmountable. There will be a right time and right place, you'll see.

    Hi i tried twice to come out to my mum. Both times she said it was a phrase or i haven`t been round girls enougth. She a christian and belives it is wrong to be gay. Have you came out of the closet? Worried about being gay? Do you think it is wrong?

    People lead honest and decent lives without religion.

    I am sure your Mum would value having a son who is honest with her.

    Being gay is not a sin. It is normal,natural and biological.

    My Mum knows I am gay.

    If you've told her, your job is done. Allow her to digest the information and if she has any concerns or questions I'm sure she will let you know.

    Move on now and do what you want to do. :)

    I've never understood why some Christians are so anti gay. After all I always thought Jesus went round being nice to people.

    Well, that's a pity, but it is of course down to personal choice to divulge any personal information.

    I wish you well.

    I was extremely lucky when I came out, nobody gave a shit! It sounds like your mum is just getting her head round it, you have told her twice now so she can't deny it is happening. I would say just get on with things and don't worry about it, she will come round eventully. If she had a major problem with it she probably would of reacted worse than saying you might be going through a phase

    Edit - just saw how old you are if she thinks its still a phase then there is not much more you can do, I would just get on with your life mate

    Did you phone that club in Wigan that discriminated against you, you know, the business that doesn't answer it's phone even on a weekend. Did you manage to get through yet?

    Yeah but people pick & choose what they read from that dusty, old, rewritten many times book.

    I have been quite lucky that I never really needed to come out. My family and friends all just seemed to know and accept the fact I like the D.

    No, and I suspect your Mum is in denial, as she does.

    if you worry what people think ...even your mother you will be stuck in the closet for a long time harbouring these feelings, then end up lonely & bitter, be yourself , i am sure your mum will come around to the idea you are Gay.. or is this a wind up :rolleyes:

    I have been surpressing my feelings pretty much snce puberty always dated women but sex has never always felt 100 % right.

    I only tend to feel happy when I am not pushing the feelings to one side or trying to make my self attracted to women.

    Think now is the time to get out and act on these feelings!

    Are there any fellow London guys here that fancy a private chat.

    Gosh d4n_d4n, unless you have had some pms, that has killed it. Out of curiosity, did it work?

    Why bother? It won't actually change anything. Acceptance is an early step in the coming out process.

    BTW, at 30 it's not a phase. Teenagers have "phases". 30 year olds know what their body responds to. Whether they choose to accept or hide that is the only conflict.

    Everyone have their own values, however, that entails to respect others of their values/beliefs - sincere best wishes mate - I'm genuinely sorry that I can't advise anything further....:(
