OMG! Just came out.....

[iluvmercs]

....to the parents!

They were fine about me being gay! Made me wonder what all the stress was about!

Well done you having a coming out party now then.

They might have guessed through if you never bring girls back to the house.

Have you seen anything of that girl who is a friend of that guy u fancy.

Well done! Terrifying to start with, mind...

[gtr-gaz]

Well done Darren! I suspect your parents would have had an inkling though

So with that hurdle under you belt (well done by the way, it must have been a very difficult thing to have done) dare I be so cheeky as to ask whether you will be moving away from Mercedes ownership in the near future?

It’s just if the Porsche forum is to be believed there are one or two of their models dedicated to your new found freedom!

i'd say certain Mercs are much more applicable than any porsches

Blimey, I thought the only person who *didn't* know was the deaf, mute, illiterate, blind member of the Gronzongobongo tribe from the deepest jungles of Trocodamia...

that'll be me then...

having said that, i've not knowingly met any of you lot yet, something which i hope to remedy in the new year.

[silverback mike]

Bloody 'ell fella, how did you breach that subject then?

"Guess what folks"

or a bit deeper than that.

Seriously though, can't have been easy. Good work chap.

[iluvmercs]

Thanks for the support guys!

It was down to a quiet 5 mile journey in the Freelander to tell Mum. Walked in house and told Dad straight away (excuse the pun )

Their reaction makes me wonder why I didn't tell them sooner!

Mum said she had an inkling, Dad said he didn't!

And yes, a HUGE weight off my mind!!



ETA: Porsche ownership? Whats been going on in the Porsche forums? Actually you say that ecar insurance quoted me (on my own policy) £5,333.45 for the Merc! Confused.com quote a cheapest quote of £5,500 on a Porsche 996 Turbo!!!

Simpo.....you knew?! What gave it away

I didnt know... but you know what they say... takes one to know one!

[Marshy]

Ere, V8, you're but two villages away from me - I'm just up in Swavesey. Beer & tyre-kick sometime?

[jhoneyball]

Congrats - well done -- i remember doing the same... <sigh> :-)

[Bacardi]

Darren's gay?

Well done, better to get it out of the way.

I remember doing the same thing but my parents never really got over me telling them I was a Lesbian .

Good one mate, I bet you feel way better.

As everybody has said, I bet its a weight of your mind and you can feel a bit more relaxed about yourself at home.

Have a big thumbs up.
