That's great that you were able to come out about how you feel.I'm gay, and I've been out for about five years now. Coming out in seventh grade was difficult, yet rewarding. As the first of my peers to say anything about the subject, I was able to help others in their own coming out processes. I made a lot of friends that way I live in a very supportive community, and even though my mother still wishes I were straight, I can't change it, and I'm glad my friends understand that.
My mother's opposition has made dating difficult as well. I have had boyfriends in the past, but she's never known. I don't have much of a problem with this now, but I'd really like her to be a part of my life in the future, and for her to be happy that I have someone to love. While I realize she wants the best for me, I'm not sure whether it's a double standard that she supports same-sex marriage rights, but doesn't support her own son's homosexuality.
Yeah, love is confusing.
Being open is the best way. Don't keep things bottled up.
Though I'm not gay so I wouldn't exactly know how it feels...
