Came out again, Finally

Postby wac14 » June 27th, 2010, 12:54 am

Great news! I finally came out to the rest of my family, that is, my grandmother, brother and uncle (on mother's side). My mother constantly was fearful about me telling my grandmother, but this week I decided to be a real man (well gay man  :wink: ) and tell her anyway. I met with my pastor on Thursday and he told me a wonderful story about how his rural Alabama family had came to accept his sexuality. I then called my grandmother and told her and she said she pretty much already knew. LOL, she said she knew when I came to Virginia and Xavier moved from the other room to sleep next to me there. She is now reading some books and learning about being gay and Christian.

Wow. That's great news, especially about your grandmother. It's always more difficult to change the minds of those in the older generation, so that's a blessing.

Kudos!

Thanks and continue to pray for them. My grandmother is a reader and a learner but my brother or uncle are not. They are already saying some pretty ignorant things...but it's okay and expected.

Yeah, we have to expect some pushback when we come out. It's only natural given the religious climate.

LOL, the push back I'm getting isn't (fortunately) in the name of religion...just stupidity!  :razz:
