Queer!

[storagedisposal]

Over this least year or so, I realized that I reject the gender binary. So I came out of the pansexual/queer closet tonight to my mom. And coincidentally, I kid you not, this song was playing when I did it. And I just realized it's Valentine's Day. Happy Valentine's Day, mom!

I also came out of the atheist closet to her. She seemed pretty

Wow! *claps* Good for you.

I think that's probably how I'd identify, too, is just "queer." Trouble is, I don't feel the need/don't want to deal with telling my parents because if it's not an ISSUE (i.e. I'm not dating a woman) why worry their pretty little heads about my sex life?

Meh.

But I'm glad your mom took it well.

Yeah, I put it off and still probably won't ever tell my dad (I see him like once a year and he's not the epitome of tolerance) because I figure why risk them thinking I'm going to go to Hell or something. I worry that they would worry too much about me.

But I look at my mom and I'm pretty close to her. I want her to be as tolerant as I know she can be. She's pretty religious, but I had a feeling that I could convince her that this wasn't that big a deal and doesn't really change who I am. She was one of the few that I could tell anything to, so I felt I had to do it.
