Hi Mom,
You probably heard that 50 people
were killed at an LGBT nightclub last night. Breaks my heart that people
do this out of hate, and out of not understanding, and out of not
accepting that people can be different and still be worth something. And it breaks my heart because by my silence, I'm afraid I've contributed to you not understanding, and not accepting. I'm sorry for that. I'm gay. I'm not ashamed of it, and I don't need fixing because of it, and I'm happy and proud to be gay. I'm just...me.
I've never talked about it with you, but I think you and I both deserve it. I'm not going to lie by omission anymore.
I don't know how it'll end. I got a text saying she wants to think and pray before responding, and that she loves me.
The ball is in her court, finally, and I'm free.
