Who was easier to come out to, your mom or your dad?

And which one was more supportive?

they were essentially one person. If I told one, they would IMMEDIATELY tell the other.

As my mother was weeping and trying to ask the question, my Dad looked confused, then was incredulous and said “Oh, the gay thing?”

OP, where's the None Of The Above option?

FYI. The Vivian Vance thing stopped being amusing 15 years ago.

Moms are all about, “I’ll never have any grandchildren!”

My mom treated the news with withering contempt — nothing new there. My dad had no reaction at all.

Southern mother didn't take it very well, and never really came to accept...midwestern father never had an issue with it.

I call them "my mother and father," not the hokey "my mom and dad."

My dad diedcquite young - i never had the chance to tell him.

I didn't give my mom a choice - when i came out, i pretty much insisted she accept me for who i am.
