“Mom, dad, there’s something I have to tell you. I don’t quite know where to start…” Mark sat nervously on his chair, his parents on the couch across him. Though his parents seemed relaxed he felt like it was the inquisition.
Dad spoke up first, “Don’t worry son, I think we already know what you want to tell us. You are gay aren’t you? It’s okay, we have no problem with it. That’s what you wanted to tell us right?”
Mark fidgeted a bit before answering, “Uhm, well… yes… that too. I would like you to meet my lover, Alice.”

I didn't see that one coming, but it left me on the floor laughing my butt off. Two thumbs up for this story!

I wish it always went that well
Cute!
I thought it was going to be a version of this urban myth that has gone around a few times; good chaos is all in the timing:
Shared with us by a USAir pilot, this tale sounded too good to be true and is, according to airline officials who describe it as another urban myth. (A West Coast version has it as a United flight.) Seems a USAir employee with the last name of Gay was flying on a company pass.
Mr. Gay found a man in his seat and sat elsewhere. Since the plane turned out to be overbooked, a ticket agent approached the man in Mr. Gay's assigned seat and asked "Are you Gay?" When the bewildered man nodded that he was gay, the agent said, "Well, get your things, you'll have to get off.
The real Mr. Gay overheard and quickly interrupted, "I'm Gay." The agent told him he'd have to leave the plane at which another passenger, observing this whole scene, announced defiantly, "I'm gay, too. Heck, you can't throw us all off."
Wow!
Less than a hundred words to convey so much. Very well done.

Loved it. A Great way to break it in to the parents without actually saying it!

Hilarious!
Sums up her situation so nicely, but probably over the parent's head at this point, and a lot of readers too, if this was printed, say, in READER'S DIGEST & not here.
(I send all my t.g. drabbles to them, so far they're not interested...)

I think I'm the only one confused about the punch line of this story. Is he gay, but with an original female lover? Gay with a trans-female lover? A transgendered lesbian?
