I have promised myself that I will come out to my parents about being asexual by the end of the week.
Good luck to you. I'm in God country and I've found it more comfortable to keep my mouth shut. I can't believe some of the things people have said to me... Ugh! My Mother is an accepting person but the honest truth is, in this matter, she sees me as having a disorder. Which can cause uncharacteristic friction between us sometimes because I really resent that - Even though she doesn't have a *problem* with it and I don't really care what she thinks as long as she leaves me along, I'm still *wrong* somehow.
I don't know how much of an issue this is for you or if you have support, but please feel free to email me if you need someone to vent to.
