As We Forgive Those Who Prejudice Against UssirptomMarch 8 2005, 10:37:18 UTC
Dude, you're gay? What?
Nah, that's a joke. I think I knew approximately a week after I met you.
Good choice of reading... I'll get around to that one of these years.
Hang in there with regard to the parents and whatever others you may encounter... your mother, from what little I know of her, should eventually come around. She's a good person. With regard to persistently intolerant people, I'll make an analogy about something Steve Jobs (yeah, yeah) once said about the creation of the Macintosh: "We knew that there were certain people who would never use computers, due to stubbornness or prejudice or for whatever reason... but we knew that death would eventually solve that problem. Armed with that knowledge, we set out to build a computer for the rest of us."
Just takes time, that's all. Time is the universal equalizer.
*shakes your hand, and then compliments the extremely large size of your balls*
I don't even have the guts to tell my parents that I smoke.
No, wait, that's me, projecting my own self back on myself through them.
Nope, wait, still ball-less.
That awkward tangent aside, I'm glad you finally told them. I know you had been a "little" torn about it before, and the difference between now and before is that they were comfortable and ignorant, while you were torn up and secretive towards them. Now they are the ones who are going to have to deal with their feelings, while you are comfortable with who you are- Kind of an emotional comfort reversal, but one that could easily end with stronger bonds, understanding and greater love between you and your family.
Never stop drinking tea, and inquiring about life. . .
we've already had this discussion and the fact that I love you! I was hoping you'd be home for Spring Break when I was home, but from other discussions, I'm assuming that's not going to the case. That's alright. I do miss you (and i most definately could use one of your famous hugs at this moment). And I love you!
... a woman's brain? That's trans-women, not gay men. Biiig difference. *Hugs* I know how difficult coming out to family can be. I'm glad you've got the confidence in yourself. Still, if you needs someone to talk to/vent to, you know where I am. And we still owe you a coming-out tea party. We had one planned for you in highschool, you know. We were betting you'd come out before we graduated and we could all go out to tea. However, this means that next time we're in the same city I reserve to snag you for a night out on the town. (Hint: come here. My city has a gay district for such things. Fairbanks does not.)
