Or...actually no it isn't. There was no drama involved at all. Liberal parents take the fun out of everything.

how did it end?

Uneventfully? My mom said she already suspected. My dad barely said anything.

Don't be surprised if there's "blowback."
― Bud Huxtable (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 15 June 2009 01:39 (fourteen years ago) link
What do you mean by that?
― The Reverend, Monday, 15 June 2009 01:40 (fourteen years ago) link
more blowjobs

Delayed reaction...Dad asking you a question or making a remark tomorrow or a few days later when you least expect it.
This should start happening immediately.

The one thing that did annoy me was my mom telling me to use protection, which in addition to being so high on the "no fucking shit" scale, she never said anything to me like that when I've been dating girls.
― The Reverend, Monday, 15 June 2009 01:44 (fourteen years ago) link
xp: Yeah, that wouldn't surprise me. He isn't quite as open-minded as my mom is, but open-minded enough, though. I've heard him make mildly homophobic comments, but I've also seen him tear down my grandpa's anti-gay arguments with ease.
― The Reverend, Monday, 15 June 2009 01:46 (fourteen years ago) link
But, you know, I've heard myself make mildly homophobic comments, too, so I'm not really holding anything against him.

I have a sandwich next to that I'm finding impossible to eat.

next to me
I intended to eat it before making any pronouncements, but things just kinda had to happen when they did.

Oh man, you gayz. I love this thread. Congats on the coming out, Rev.
I'm having a Kate Bush moment, though. And I don't know how to deal with a Kate Bush moment without the gayz.
Turangalila, please come back honey. Please. Don't be mean.
Alfred, I bought these goddamn Genesis LP's and when I play "Turn It On Again" on vinyl, it's like the whole sunshine loves me.
But my friend can't come to my house anymore. He's going to see his momma and dadda and I tried to sound cheerful on the phone when he told me he wasn't coming over.
But I don't care about all this gayz, I need Kate Bush fans. We're going to start a fucking Kate Bush army over here, you hear me? SIGN UP FOR KATE BUSH NOW. I mean...
I'm not in the mood to fight. But surely someone on this thread reading my words likes Kate. That's all I can hope for.
Thanking U.

"Turn It On Again" is one of my favorite Genesis singles.

an ex-roommate turned me on to "keep it dark"

Keep It Dark!
Honey you can't imagine what I've gone through to find this goddamn Sheena Easton picture that is on my wall. I know it looks lesbian but I told you I don't care about lesbians. I can't date them, we don't fucking agree at all, not at all.

Unsurprisingly common in my experience, or at least among the gays I know. It doesn't make sense, but if that's the furthest they go on the "stupid fucking questions" list, consider yourself lucky.

Surmounter, I pulled out my Kate Bush 45's box set. Thinking of U. Thanks.

Kate Bush b-side "The Empty Bullring" if you don't play that then you can't be my friend
do you know it was actually a gay dude who introduced me to her?
― Fever Pitch, Bitch (Bimble), Monday, 15 June 2009 04:24 (fourteen years ago) link
The girly dude called me back. I mean...
He's going to go home with me. thank fucking god
I told him what is between my legs, he didn't care.
but I have to go meet him at the goth club. goth tonight.He's going to go home with me thank fucking christ.

He's going to go home with me. I've got him. Gayz, I've got a man in my man trap.
He's going to have sex with me thank fucking jesus of our lord. I don't even care if he doesn't. I told him I'd cook for him. Oh my god.
I've got him, dudez. I've got one.

Congrats rev! I think my mom knows, too, but i'm afraid to say anything because i don't want to have a conversation about it?

Congratulations, rev. I mean... it that the right word? Condolences doesn't fit at all, but I can't imagine that the process is less than painful. There's not a good word for it. Maybe the Germans have one.
Good move, at any rate. Hugs and all that.
― Brundlefly (kenan), Monday, 15 June 2009 09:52 (fourteen years ago) link
Maybe I have no place to say anything at all. My brother came out a couple of years ago, because he likes boys enough that he wants to have relationships with them, and the family should be prepped for that, I understand. I have a girlfriend, and have had one or another girlfriend for years, because I like pussy in a very sincere way. There was never much call for me to explain to my mom that I also think big fat cocks are hot. I mean, hell on earth, why would I say something like THAT? My brother doesn't have that luxury. I guess I can only empathize.
― Brundlefly (kenan), Monday, 15 June 2009 10:02 (fourteen years ago) link
Thank you, kenan. I now have the vapors.

A: "Hi! I arrived at your website looking for a definition of a term used in this era. The term is "the Vapors". I have heard a multitude of meanings and I hold firm to the definition that the vapors is flatulence. Can you either affirm I am correct or correct me if I am wrong?"
― eat my pain away (i got problems) (Tape Store), Monday, 15 June 2009 10:15 (fourteen years ago) link
Better consult Victorian Dictionary...

Basically, fainting or, better, swooning.

No I know what you meant, I was just trying to draw you out a bit.
― Brundlefly (kenan), Monday, 15 June 2009 10:21 (fourteen years ago) link
Cuz....um...er....do I really have to say? (shuffles foot) You know what I mean... (blushes)
― Kevin John Bozelka, Monday, 15 June 2009 10:23 (fourteen years ago) link
For some reason I can only hear "the vapors" in the voice of either Delta Burke or Rue McClanahan.
― Brundlefly (kenan), Monday, 15 June 2009 10:24 (fourteen years ago) link
That's exactly the kind of voice I used. It's a positive thing. :)

Rev, you came out as bi, right? (Not impugning, just trying to get it all straight in my head, so to speak.)
― bad crack (Eric H.), Monday, 15 June 2009 11:24 (fourteen years ago) link

(Excepting the CK waistband, maybe.)
but you know they're not tighty whities at least. A nice boxer brief, probably.

yeah, my parents thought i was going to get aids from playing in a gay flag football league.
speaking of which, has anyone ever noticed this phenomenon where a straight alpha guy likes to hang around gay guys in order to feel more straight/masculine? i think there's a little bit of that going on w/r/t this one dude in the league.
