Story #2412

When I came out to my mom, I returned home from my first pride parade. I came out as bi initially to my friends one month prior, who accepted me instantly, but my mom didn’t take it well. She dismissed my coming out as “just a fad” and, upon asking what bisexuality was, kept interrupting to argue that “you’re either gay or straight.” My dad doesn’t accept my identity either and they still believe I’m faking it because it’s “trendy.” I’m just relieved my sister supports me unwaveringly and encourages me to show the world I’m not afraid.
