The coming out thread - Take II

Took the test and scored a zero.

My mother, born in 1930, was gay her entire life. From as early as she can remember she was attracted to women. After graduating nursing school in the late 50s she succumbed to family and social pressures and tried the whole hook up with a guy, buy a house with a white picket fence, and squeeze out a few kids thing (boy, am I glad for that!). It didn't last. My folks got divorced when I was two and I grew up in a home with my mom, her partner, my two sisters and her partners daughter.

Straight, gay, bi? Who gives a crap. The fact that homophobia still exists in this day and age is one of the most depressing things about the human race.
