Coming Out

Okay first of all; I know this will probably sound dumb, but here is a quote from Dan's blog:

"...it felt like we were boyfriends. We were together most of the night and we were joking and it felt really great. I felt like i could just go up and kiss him and everything would be cool. I didnt, but it felt like i could."

It'll probably sound really stupid for me to say, but that pretty much describes how I felt last night too :) (see last post)


Yeah, okay. Now that that's outta the way...

I was at Mom's today trying to work on school stuff. She was there so I didn't really get much done. Later, I turned on the TV and we watched Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. This particular episode dealt mainly with homosexuality.

There were a couple instances while watching it that I got really uncomfortable, thinking she was going to say something about me personally. For example: there was a bit about how some people think homosexuality is caused by an overbearing mother and a distant father. I got nervous at this line because, well, that's how it used to be with me.

Um... there was another part, but I can't remember.

After the show ended she said, "I don't think those people have a choice in the matter."

:O

Wow, I was actually shocked to hear that. I was getting ready to leave so the subject got changed (thank God).


Then at dinner, I told Dad about the episode. I quoted one line that I thought was funny:

::Detective Stabler is reading a hate mail letter sent to the gay victim::

'All queers will burn in the flames of hell,' so sayeth the Lord." Somehow I don't think that's a direct quote.

Dad said, "No, it's not a direct quote, but it's not too far off either."

-_-

Somehow, I'm not really surprised at that.

So if I had to choose which one of my parents to come out to, I think I'd be safer telling Mom.


Btw, the episode was very much in favor of gays.


Right now I'm anxiously awaiting nightfall so I can go over to Alex's... assuming he asks. He said we were going to sit out so...
