Positive; it was all in my head. I've had a bunch of friends get kicked out and disowned and stuff, so I didn't bother saying anything until I was alright on my own in the first place, and more importantly once I was actually dating a dude.

Was visiting the parents, lingered around for a bit. Realized I had to get going soon so I told them I'd starting dating a dude and wanted to let them know. There was a few more sentences exchanged along the line of "thanks for telling us and we look forward to meeting him" and then I bailed.

Talked on the phone the next night for about half an hour about everything; how I've always been this way and stuff. Parents said they still love me and look forward to my adopted or surrogate baby. Thank goodness for an older brother who's already got kids; the grandparenting urge is real.

Also two of my mom's good friends/cousins growing up (one of whom is my godparent) are gay so I'm sure that sort of casual exposure helped them.

Had to come out again to brother and his wife about a week or two later. It gets easier after the first one, lol.
