When I came out 12 years ago, my parents were mortified. Living in India, where homosexuality was still illegal, was no piece of cake. They told me I was probably confused, and that I must never tell anyone about my sexuality and just remain asexual all my life. Then for years, we pretended like nobody knew anything. Earlier this year, they watched me get a doctorate and we all celebrated with my boyfriend and his family.
