In 8th grade i came out to my mother and told her i was bisexual from that point on she just ignored the facts even tho i was open about being bi with my friends and at school..Ive never brought a girl home to my mother because i knew she didnt like me dating girls but now im 18 and a lesbian i want to tell my mother but not sure how i just want to be me around her and bring home a girl and not have to feel bad about it. so i guess my question is how do i tell my mother im a lesbian?

and any other advise would really help!

(ps me and my mother are really close like best friends)

A reader, anonymous, writes (19 September 2010):

If you two are best friends then you should have no problem telling her. I believe that when a child is born the parents want the best for them. They want them to get married and have children of their own and for them to be happy. And if being gay makes their child happy then the parents should love them no matter what. Give them support. Since your mother already knew that you were bi, she probably knew there was a chance that you would be telling her you're a lesbian one day. Dont be ashamed. Just sit her down and tell her. If it makes you happy then your mother should accept that and support you and love you because you're her daughter. I believe you will get support from her. I wish you the very best of Luck.:]

Denizli agony auntSince she's your 'best friend' it may be easy, well not really easy but it would be worse if you and her were distant.

Ive got some question for you, aren't you bisexual anymore? just lesbian? Anyway, just try to explain her that you like only women now and you are sure of that, tell her that you trust her and you'd love her to support you on this.

I think it must be really hard to tell your parents something like this but it's always better to be honest and live free, I personally think your mom will support you on this.

Best of luck! Hope your mom understands you and supports you
