I’ve never had a boyfriend before, but I know my family would be supportive if I got one. In fact, they would be delighted - my mother cannot wait until I get a boyfriend.

Lol, same, but with my dad.

He's generally quiet and solemn, but once my step-mother kept pestering me about my love life and whether I've met someone, so I caved and told her about this girl I've been talking to. And my dad lit up, I just—... 😂 When my step-mother left the room he looked at me and it was like he couldn't contain his joy lmao.

I suspect it's because I'm approaching 30 years old and he's worried I'll end up alone and sad.

It surprises me when parents are happy to have a gay child, because I believe that it shouldn’t matter to them if one of their children is gay or bisexual. But I guess in your case, he probably knew and was just happy you’re hiding your orientation anymore. And yes, parents don’t want their kids to be lonely. My parents, mother especially, want me to get married to a man before they die.

Yes this is most certainly how you know they've accepted you, when you get the same "When are you going to settle down?" question 🤣🤣🤣

Yes. My parents have long supported gay people. They also said if a family member won’t talk to me for being gay, then my parents will stop talking to them, which thankfully never happened. They don’t tolerate bullshit.
