When I came out, I wasn’t even planning on doing it for at least 2 more years, since I’ve known I since I was 10 (and I was 12 when I came out to my mom) but I was afraid no one would take me seriously. I was sitting with my mom, and she said that she was going to help out at our city’s pride parade, which I didn’t think was too big of a deal since she’s very liberal. That’s when she told me that she was bi, and I just started crying. She looked concerned, and I could barely get out the words “me too” before we both started hugging and crying for what seemed like hours. We saw the movie Love, Simon the other day, and she told me how lucky I am to be growing up at a time when there are people like me in major movies.
