Were There Any Challenges?

well it was challenging because i come from a Christian family and well my mom's mother (my grandmother) she was really upset because i was gay she thought it was phase but to me its not.... like i told my grandmother i didnt choose to be gay...

Advice

  • When your planning to come out tell your parents you want them to be calm and let them sit down or take them to dinner or something
  • 2nd you have to know what your going to say and what you have in mind
  • 3rd when you do tell them your going to have a relief which makes you u happy and not your parents if their upset dont worry ive been through and still to today
  • 4th its a challenge and if ne question yall can send me an emial erikcarranza7@yahoo.com
