Came out to my homophobic mom yesterday and she was so accepting I’m in shock. Not trying to complain, but I spent years worrying I’d end up homeless and finding out that was never a possibility is so strange. I have been carrying the grief of losing them

Omg I just know that is a huge weight lifted. Take it in, and know you are loved no matter what!🩷

For over a decade, and finding out that was all in my head has made me feel very crazy and mentally ill 😵‍💫

I thought my entire homophobic family was gonna be a nightmare when I introduced my bf. Somehow the worst reaction I got was "you think we didn't already know? We still love you" ♥️😭

My daughter came out at 33. “You are the last person to know YOU are queer, dear.”

Haha, I get the sense that’s maybe how my mom felt cause I am 22. I’ve known since I was 11 though.
