When I came out, I didn’t actually realize I had come out to my mom and brother for a few beats. I knew they wouldn’t care, but I had lived away from home for long enough that I forgot that family and (some of my) friends in my hometown didn’t know I was bisexual, so I mentioned an ex-girlfriend in passing; my brother didn’t even register it as an event worth noting. My mom shook her head and was like, “Well of course I don’t care at all; I just like men so I don’t get it but whatever works for you.” Very, very lucky, and my parents are old, almost 70; I hope against hope that becomes the norm.
