" it was and still is allright, well i don't know what it's like to have a not gay parent (my dad never really existed in my life), some of my friends also had gay parents (met through my mum) others i'd tell and they'd get all wierd so yeah i did stop telling people. best part would be the people i met through my mum, the gay community is great! worst part was people treating me differently. but i wouldn't say embarassed, and especially now!
