i came out to my liberal-leaning but very religious mom. i think i couched it in a lot of conditionals, maybe as a way to soften the stress of it all to myself ("i like girls and guys, buuuut i'm still spiritual/religious, practice safe sex etc., i'm bringing this up because i don't want to hide any part of me from you") but... it was fine? surprisingly painless? we talked for like 20 minutes.

despite the "i still want kids!" fussing - it went well and i feel like our relationship is actually stronger than before. i'm really surprised and even a little emotional now! fuck. sending love and light to everyone here today, especially the people who did not have this very chill coming out ceremony and the people who still can't come out for whatever reason. this site i take long breaks from because sometimes you guys piss me off but ultimately i'm still here because i give a shit and we're all still here because we still give a shit. whatever. have a good weekend
