    I've been drafting my coming out letter for my parents, and I want other people to read it and tell me what they think I should change, get rid of, or add. I don't really think it's perfect at all, so any advice would be great. I just need help to make it as sound as possible.

    Oh, I forgot a bit of context, Suzy and Mara are my lesbian aunts who have two twins together.

    I think it's very good. I get a real sense of your confidence and determination in its tone. So, if that's what you were going for - well done.
    I'm guessing if you can muster this kind of fortitude at your age, you probably have some good parents and they'll be fine with this.

    Thanks for reading it, everyone. It's nice to have a sense of reassurement that the letter actually does mean something, so thank you for the feedback.
