That's the kind of pressure many of us will never know, and be glad not to know. Could so easily have gone terribly badly. Respect.

Thanks you guys...
 @Micshazam, it was a bet I was willing to make only when I knew that I would be ok even if they didn't react well. It turned out well, but I was sort of adamant, to the rest of my family, that I was not going to live a lie for the rest of my life, I had too much pride for that and they needed to understand and accept my decision (they were initially VERY much against telling our parents). Anyways, I'm glad it all turned out ok, it's just a great burned off my shoulders and one less thing to stress about. It's a little weird I guess that something like that could cause so much stress, but we are where we are...:/

Really happy for you, adi.
Eastern-europeans are indeed often ridiculous about homosexuality and it's good to hear that things went relatively well for you. Can't even imagine how my dad would react if I were gay. He's totally brainwashed by this whole conservative putin-loving orthodox **** that's currently so popular in the former USSR.

I was quite worried also about my dad's reaction as he exhibited nothing be extreme homophobia until he found out about me. Things tend to change once you realize your prejudice applies to your own flesh and blood. It's a lot harder to suddenly hate someone you've known and loved (I guess) your whole life.

Yeah I heard that Russia is pretty crazy about homophobia right now.
Not to mention that whole tragic mess in Chechnya. Still crazy to think that this really happened so recently. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-g...es_in_Chechnya |
