    Ralf, not reeeeally. I don’t really do much she approves of.
    And, er, just a little clarification: I didn’t ‘grow out of it’, I just fell in love with a man /:) I’m still queer.

    so then i guess that makes you Homoflexible? (as opposed to Heteroflexible)

    meaning you gay but with hetero leanings

    Ah yes… the “assuming it’s a phase” phase. I’m glad my mom grew out of that one!

    after reading your comment up there, was your mom still a tad happy? anyway it’s whatever. in the famous words prozzak “be as gay as you want to” you should check out their music. they are awesome

    heh, my mom came out for me:
    Me: “I like boys mom”
    Mom: “Yeah but you like girls too right?”
    Me: “Well, yeah.”
    Mom: “Took you long enough to figure that one out hun”
    Me: “…Love you too mom”
    I lucked out with my parents. It was my older brother who thought I was rebelling and going through a phase. Ahhh memories.

    My parents have never really cared who or what I’m dating as long as I’m happy. I have the most awesome parents EVER.

    I’m homoflexible too! And I identify as queer. Raurie – she’s what she identifies as. She’s not bisexual unless she says she’s bisexual. If she’s like me, she is interested in women with only very rare and special exceptions for certain men. Bisexual people generally are attracted to either gender equally.

    Both my mom’s prom dates were gay men. My dad’s mom is bi. I’m perfectly happy straight, but it’s still cool to know that no matter what, honestly, my family would love me and accept whomever I loved because I love them.

    @Ten: “Bisexual people generally are attracted to either gender equally.”

    Nope. You can call yourself bisexual if you are at all attracted to both sexes, not necessarily equally. See the Klein Sexual Orientation Grid. I’m married to a man but attracted to both sexes, and on the KSOG I see myself as a 3.

    Probably better than what my own mom would say if I was gay.

    “I didn’t ‘grow out of it’, I just fell in love with a man /:) I’m still queer.”

    God, I thought I was the only one something like this happened too. Been out for YEARS and now I’m getting married to a man I met 8 months ago, and it’s like “Crap, I have to come out of a ANOTHER closet. Everyone is going to be PISSED!”

    But I still really like girls, and no other boys. It was a conundrum for quite some time, let me tell you.

    I love this strip, when I cam out as bi my mom used many of the same lines on me. It was around this time during my first read through of DAR that I started to think Erika and I were doppelgangers. :P
