Story #858

When I came out, I told the person that I knew wouldn’t care. After telling him about a girl I liked, it took him a minute to even realize it was important to me — he thought I was just talking about my crush, and didn’t even blink. We spent the rest of lunch telling your mom jokes, because a whole new avenue of humor was open to me. He has no idea how much the jokes meant to me. I loved how normal it felt.
