Coming Out

So tonight was our awards ceremony at school and I won 3 awards. (Please hold you applause lol) But anyway that's not really the point . . . at dinner afterwards it dawned on me that tonight would be the perfect night to tell my parents my dirty little secret. I came out to them just about 15 minutes ago and it was fabulous.

I started by gathering them all into the living room surreptitiously and then I just stood there for what felt like an eternity until my grandmother asked what I was doing. I dove right in, I said "Well since everyone is here, in addition to my 3 awards I have an announcement I would like to make. I'm gay. You may have known for a while but I just thought I should let you all know." I then saluted them and left.

My mom came into my room first and hugged me and asked me how long I'd known and I told her since junior year. We hugged it was awesome.

Then came my dad, the one I was most worried about. He came in and told me he loved me no matter what and that he was always proud of me. It made me so happy I teared up a bit. This has been the most amazing night of my life and I am just soo happy. I hope every gay boy and girl gets to experience this amazing feeling one day.

Thanks to all my friends for my support. You guys are the best!

Love to all.
