When I came out I was 14. I had the day off of school, and I guess my grandmother was trying to bond with me while my mom was at work, so she asked if I wanted to play a game. I said yes, not knowing what I was getting myself into. Of course she grabbed Life off of the shelf since it was my favorite game as a kid. When I was really young, my dad married a man in the game (even though he is straight), and I figured I could marry a woman to not-so-subtly hint to my VERY conservative grandmother that I liked girls. We started playing the game and when I landed on the space that said I had to get married, instead of saying I wanted to stay single like I usually do, I put a little pink person in the passenger seat next to me. She stared at me, and I just looked her dead in the eyes. Finally, she broke the silence by saying, “(My full name), did you just marry a woman?” I just said yeah, and she frowned. (She bought me a rainbow pin so I think she’s finally used to it.) (F/18/Lesbian)
