Last spring my mom forced me to come out. Her justification she “needed to confirm it”. According to her someone was spreading rumors. She told me everyone was talking about it. But I asked around and no one had said anything. She accused some old friends of my making me gay. Would say things just let it go. Fortunately I was able to dodge being forced to come out my crush whom is presumably straight.

However she did say she knew. Awhile back my mom and grandma were talking about marriages. I said Mom I’m not interested in men and she said I know.

I don’t what it is. I have never really showed interest in men. I crushes on girl actresses /teachers. Played with stuffed animals rather than dolls. Read girly magazines as teens.

The only real indicator would be when I befriend my crush who was 7yrs older than me. I have as in High School. At the time she was tv journalist. We became really close friends. She was was the one that told me what it meant to be bisexual, lesbian, etc. she basically told what each letter of the LBGTQ meant. Told me was ok. I didn’t know a such thing existed.

I didn’t start liking guys until I was 28.

So parents how did you know.
