On the Other Side: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Marvi Matos, Huff Post Gay Voices

I often say that my life is like a sitcom. Recently, situations that we are exposed to as a family are just comical. Until one year ago we were perceived as an ordinary family when it came to composition: husband, wife and kids. My spouse and I met in college, we went to graduate school together, we got married, and we had two daughters. We had been meticulously building our very granola life -- family, jobs, house and a cute dog named Lola -- when my other half expressed to the world that she is a woman and would start presenting herself as a woman. This news surprised some, shocked most and unraveled a series of fortunate and unfortunate events.

"Choosing to be true to one's self — despite challenges that may come with the journey — is an integral part of realizing not just one's own potential, but of realizing the true nature of our collective human spirit. This spirit is what makes us who we are, and by following that spirit as it manifests outwardly, and inwardly, you are benefiting us all." -Andrew WK

Great story. Good questions were answered. Still a lot of ignorance out there.
