Mom, I'm Gay

Mythos

5/5 stars

I absolutely love this webtoon and will always be up for rereading it. It's a heartwarming story about being gay and how it's always easier when you're around accepting people. The story was more focused on family relationships than romantic ones. Although we do get to see Rin and Jun in relationships later on in the story. One of my favorite parts of this webtoon was how Jun's mother decided to get educated by reaching out to a club and getting books on the matter. I loved how she tried to understand more about her son's sexuality. I will say that the way she found out is rather triggering as he got outed.

Other than a toxic relationship and Jun getting outed, I would recommend this to someone who is trying to get a better understanding of the gist of being queer. It's not necessarily the best representation, but it's a good start.

SPOILER:
I am glad we got to see Hana's backstory as to why she doesn't like Jun. That still doesn't justify the fact that she outed him when he wasn't ready to come out. I kind of saw this scene coming, but it still shocked me, nonetheless. Also, we do see Jun get into a toxic relationship. I did feel like the car scene was excessive, but I'm glad he went to jail.
