When I came out, I was so nervous that I sent an email to every member of my family. I thought that they would probably be accepting but I didn’t realize that I was depriving them of something by coming out in such an impersonal way. Everyone was so great and I’m so glad I came out but I wish I did it in person. I hope that anyone reading this, who knows their family will still accept them, will come out in person. Coming out is a constant process and every time I’ve done it in person has been a much better time.
