Hi, Kiara!
It’s June already and 2022 feels like a dream. It has been a phenomenal half year for me. And with June approaching, I have so much to do. Also, this is the Pride month and it is a month of accepting who we are. So, a few days back, my close friend came out to his parents about his sexuality. I felt so proud of him. But I was still wondering how it feels like to tell your parents about being gay. I mean, I do not know. Can you please throw some light on this?
Love,
Julia
Hi Julia!
Well, I am a sister of a gay woman. She is a great person-creative, ethical, smart, and dedicated. At a young age, she is already building her career by fighting for LGBTQIA+ rights. And yes, I can say that I am extraordinarily proud to be her sister, and I am glad that every generation seems to be turning out better than the one.
Well, when she confessed first that she was gay, I do not remember what I said, but I think it was something like: That’s good! Thank you for letting me know. And I am extremely proud of you!
You know Kiara I am not actually in a position to answer this question, but I do know this: There are more parents than you might guess who accept their child’s sexuality, whatever it may be. So, never underestimate the capacity of your parents to learn. Kiara always remembers that love triumphs over prejudice, most of the time. I know I am not a parent, but Kiara, if tomorrow I find out that my child is gay, I would happily accept him the way he is. You know the more that LGBTQIA+ people come out, the more homophobia will fade away.
So, good luck to people who are coming out. You guys are brave!
Love,
Kiara.
