Title: I came out.
Post by: Shang on October 10, 2010, 09:25:52 PM
I came out to my friends on Facebook and this is also where I came out to my sister.  I copy and pasted the letter I posted on here to a note on there.

My sister made me cry, but in a good way.  This is what she sent me in response:

"*hugs you* I love that letter that you wrote out. Just remember I'll always be here for you and whenever you decide to tell our parents, I'll stand by you =]"

Then, after I responded to thank her and that it meant a lot to me that she was so accepting, she said:

"=] What else do you expect me to do? I'll love you no matter what."

I love my sister to death.  She is just the greatest person in the world.

She just said,

"eh...I think I'm only taking it easy cause no matter what, people are who they are and we can't change that. Its going to be hard for our parents cause they are Mom and Dad and thats just how they are. For me, I've been closer to you then probably anyone else so no matter what, you'll always be my older sibling =] I'll tell you though, it might shock me whenever I see you in person again but I will keep an open mind and accept you no matter how you are =]"

She keeps on making me smile.

:)  I think she does, which is really awesome.  She's always been good about things so I guess I shouldn't be so shocked, but I am.

That's awesome dude! ;D Sometimes sisters are really great.

Lol, my 12 year-old sister actually guessed that I'm trans the other day. She's really understanding about it. I'm really happy. :)
