Uh.. just hit send on a “coming out” email to my family. I honestly think they’re going to be much more upset about the “not a Christian” part than the “likes women too” portion.

Either way, I’ve ended decades of biting my tongue and allowing them to believe their assumptions in order to not have conflict between us. It’s made me very sad for 25+ years to know my immediate family doesn’t even really know who I am. I can say that from this point on, only the people who know who I am and what I stand for, and still accept me, will have a place in my life.
