I was met with a lot of confusing, homophobic rhetoric with a dash of, “but I’ll support you no matter what” which made it more confusing. It can take a while, but for me at least, as time went on my mom got way better, and those moments of pure acceptance and love, make it so worth it. I never thought I’d be able to talk to my mom openly about my gay dating/relationships, especially never thought I’d see the day where she tried to set me up with a girl lol but sometimes it just takes time

Still always be proud of who you are, and unapologetically yourself (which I know is much easier said than done, but try to work on it because it’s so worth it to feel so happy and content)
