Today at 7pm whilst my sister, my Mum & I were talking, I held up a piece of paper in their direction that said:
"I am gay. True story."
I'd rather had said it, but I just couldn't bring myself to. My Mum stared at it for a minute then said: "so?" & my sister smiled and said: "okay, I'm not bothered". Then they made (well-meaning) jokes at my expense for the next few minutes - asking why I didn't dress better, for instance!
Anyway, my Mother said that my Dad wouldn't care...but that if I wanted to - she could tell him, because she could understand how it might be embarrassing for me. We joked that my Dad is more stereotypically 'gay' than I am (he likes musicals, etcetera).
Then my mother wrote on a piece of paper (whilst chuckling):
"I'm not gay! (But I am happy). True story."
and we all laughed, then my sister wrote on a piece of paper:
"I'm not gay or straight 'cause I've got better stuff to do. True story."
I'm so pleased that they have accepted me for who I am, I am so lucky to have a lovely family & even though it's taken me almost two years to let them know - it's totally worth it.
