Story #185

When I came out,my mom was very upset about it, but my dad took it rather differently. After a long and difficult conversation with both parents, I went to bed early, with my head by the footboard and my feet on the pillow. When my dad came in to wake me up, he said, “I have some concerns about your orientation.” I nodded, internally cringing at the thought of what was coming next. “Well, I’ll just come out with it,” he continued. “Your feet are by the headboard, and your head is where your feet should be.”
