You haven’t had a boyfriend since you were 5.” And I just burst out laughing and admitted :) My whole family were fine with it, even though my nan gets terribly confused as...

Telling my Mom that I was gay was the single hardest thing that I have ever done… but it was also the bravest and happiest moment of my life, thus far. All she basically said was, “I knew.” She just smiled and said, “I knew.” I’m not someone who says that they have always known that they were gay, or that they have just been fighting it since the 5th grade.
