How old were you when you told them?

I was a late bloomer Gamey, in my late 20's. I didn't live in the same country as my folks, so didn't see them that often, otherwise it would have been something that I would have been open about with them much earlier. I didn't want them near me.

I was 36 years old when i told my parents. I was nervous about it and just did it for my own sense of well-being. Other than that, it changed nothing.

Of course most of my friends experienced the same thing, the same anxieties, and everybody was always saying "oh, you'll be so glad when you've told your parents. They will get used to it and you'll be surprised at how much you underestimated them, it will be so much better", blah blah... Well, wrong-o! I'm glad I told them for the one single reason above, but my parents are still basically mortified to have a gay son. They are the two most changeless persons I ever hope not to meet. C'est la vie!

My dad has still yet to have tried the Filet-O-Fish sandwich at McDonald's. I'm like "Dad, you don't know what you're missing. The tartar sauce is FABULOUS!"
