My son also came out at 15
Quote From: mstraceyagRecently my 15 yo son came 1/2 way out of the closet by saying that he is "bisexual". This wasnt surprising to me at all because I have been prepared for him to tell me that he was "gay" since he was 3 yrs old. What concerns me is the kids at school. I have told him that I dont care who he shares this information but was afraid that the homophobic males will hear that he is "gay" and not "bi". Guess what, someone in one of his classes had access to the chalkboard prior to my sons arrival and wrote, "Trevor's Gay". He told me what happened in class afterward and my heart broke that he wasnt ready for this. Im SCARED of what the future holds for him while he figures it all out.
By the way, Im not a believer of the "bisexual" sexuality. Either you are or your not! My son didn't come out as bi, he just came out as gay. And what told me that he knew what he was saying was the way he worded it. He didn't say "mom, I think I'm gay." He said "mom, I'm gay and I've felt this way for as long as I can remember and I'm just tired of hiding it." There was no question in his voice or the way he worded it. I also worried about my sons acceptance at school because he goes to a VERY small school and it's full of country people where you'd think acceptance would be less than elsewhere. Boy was I wrong. The friends at school have given him overwhelming support. Where you notice the lack of acceptance is in the adults...at school and in town. But he's doing ok I think. He known we love him and has our support because he is a good person. I would love to talk with you....maybe we could be support for each other.
