I came out to my Grandma yesterday!
Feb. 10th, 2009 01:14 pmAnd it went really well!
I was looking on that 'happy queer people' lj community that richips put up (thanks, btw!), and after seeing so many positive reinforcements of what it means to be queer/different, I decided that NOW was the time to let one of my favorite people know. So I called her up, talked a bit, and told her. She wasn't that surprised; as she said, she had suspected that I was 'experimenting with lesbianism.' So I tried to tell her that it wasn't so much an experiment as an identity, and that it was bisexuality. I think she gets it, and she said that as long as I am happy in my identity, she's happy too.
I love my grandma. So very much, like whoa.
So we talked a bit about her college years, and my college years, and at the end I told her I loved her. All night I walked about with a smile on my face.
Because I have the best grandmother in the entire world, and now I have nothing to hide. It feels really good.
