When I came out, which was 8 hours ago, me and my mom were talking on the phone and then she said, “YOU HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL” and then we were arguing and she demanded to know what was wrong and I was going to tell her I was gay. Then she said “Is it your dad, is it bullying at school, are you gay?” And then it felt like my chest was being pressed on and when I tried to speak it felt like I was choking and she said, “Well?” And I said, “OKAY, MOM, I AM GAY” and there was then complete silence and she said, “Son, that’s okay, I am so happy you told me!! I will love you no matter what!!” Then she took off work for 20 minutes to come over and give me a hug!!
