Story #348

When I came out to my mom we were driving in the car on the freeway coming home from my grandparents. I started by asking her if she would love me no matter what. Then I took a deep breath and said, “I’m gay.” Immediately I started bawling my eyes out and my mother started to cry too. At first my mom thought that I was just confused but over time my mom came to accept me for who I am. That day years of built of shame and guilt came out and for once I was finally free.
