I'm out the rest of the way!!!!!!!!!!! And so far, the outpouring and love and support has been amazing. Which, for me, as many of you know is completely a surprise. For those who don't know, I am surrounded by the strict Mormon culture, a not very LGBT friendly culture. Family's Mormon, I live in Mormonville, Utah... etc etc etc... Plus I have 'my way or the highway' parents. So to have so many people show support and love, unconditionally, especially with my in-laws, who I was scared would see me differently, it completely surprised me. I've not heard from much of my side of my family... the only person who responded is my sister (who is a bit of 'disappointment' for lack of a better word, to my mom anyway). And of course, having issues with the Mormon faith of her own, she didn't respond poorly either. Especially since one of her best friends is our gay cousin, which is one of the many reasons she took issue.
So here's hoping the trend continues, because I feel like a huge weight was taken off my shoulders, and there are so many people standing behind me now... I feel like we can make it. (I''ll post a link to the post in my signature if you want to see it)
