xD She couldn't tell me not to talk to gays, as my best friend, who happens to be my cousin is gay. xD And then I got a gay couple move in next door... kinda funky. xD

Definitely. That's exactly how I grew up. I don't think my mom or dad has ever really mentioned gay people at all to me.

Nope. My mum's friend is gay and so are our next door neighbours.
They haven't told me anything about ignoring homosexuals or what not, thank goodness.
I have quite a few gay friends as well, but it's all cool as far as i'm aware.

My parents are liberal and accept every one and every thing. They taught me and my brothers to be open minded and accepting. Since being bullied I have learned never ever ever to torment anyone. However NO ONE believes me when I talk about my sexuality. Not my friends, not my parents, not my brothers, not my partners. What do I have to do around here to get some recognition?! Do I have to change who I am to be overtly obvious at who and what I am? Why can't I just be me and have this other part of me accepted by people around me  |

Get a boyfriend and hold his hand infront of them if they don't believe you  Just keep saying, well, in the right places at the right time. Say it seriously and not like you are joking around. Perhaps only talk to one of them at a time? Good luck  Oh, and by the way, you mentioned parents twice  |

Oh, everyone I tell believes me. =P Mostly there's just sort of a pause, then a, "really? Are you serious?"
No, I just got you alone to tell you this for fun. xD

lol, I drop in the fact that i'm gay into conversations with people all the time!! I love it when they sort of stop for a second, take a step back and then say 'Really? I never would have guessed!!' (no sarcasm intended) and then they usually take a step forward and continue the conversation...also my best friend is a guy and he is the biggest metro ever, we go shopping and do heeps of things together all the time and people always assume that we are a couple!! I think it's funny, but he doesn't he gets really irritated about it and asserts the fact that he has a girlfriend which I think is even funnier, I usually just laugh and then assure them that he is straight.

Yeah that reminds me of a time when I went shopping with my friend and he was arguing about cookies or something - If I could've crawled under the shelf and pulled a box of Creams in front of me; I would.
The checkout was worse...
But back on topic, my Mom's always been skeptical and my Dad's the type to say; "you disappoint me, but whatever, I'm still your Dad".

I think this thread should really be titled: "talking to flamers as children". It is often difficult to pick out a gay person in a crowd. We probably all talked to many gay people as children without ever knowing (or our parents knowing) they were gay. I don't remember encountering very many flamers as a child, but seeing as how my father's sister is gay, no, I don't think my parents had a problem with me talking to gay people.
