Story #589

When I came out to my parents I was 19. I lived away from home and they came to visit. It took me two days, but I eventually said, to my dad first, “Dad, I’m gay and I have a girlfriend.” He looked at me and said, “I bet that was hard, wasn’t it?”, then gave me a hug and told me he would always love me no matter what. My mom just said, “Well, that’s going to take some getting used to” and walked away.
