Yeah, I came out to my mother about being bi and being poly in a letter, and she said nothing about it for a year, until I brought it up, and I got the same thing when I told her I was trans. If you Don't Talk About It, It Will Go Away.
I don't know - if my crazy mother can eventually get the fuck over it, I have some hope for your parents. And I'll say openly that "needing your parents approval" guy is pissing me off, because feeling rejected and unwanted by your family on the basis of something as integral as your sexual or gender identity is one of the most hurtful things I've ever experienced. It's a soul-wound; your parents are supposed to love and accept and encourage you, and mine never did, and yours are occasionally very shitty as well.
Since we're both currently unwell, I'd like to propose doing something in early May, when hopefully you'll be cured and my teeth will be gone.
