When I came out, my sister asked what I meant by “romantically gay”. Everyone was surprised, but OK with it. The next day, my sister texted me, saying, “I’m proud you opened up to us all yesterday”. I came out more confidently because my family has never said anything rude about LGBT.
I wish I could’ve told my grandfather while he was still alive last year. Only if I had known last year that I was “acey gay”.
