Same Love and the internet

I planned for coming out for like a month or two and for those two months I was all weird and nervous all the time. I had already then decided that I was gonna come out through the internet, I just thought it was easier that way. But first I had to deal with my mom because I wanted her to be the first person to know, I didn't want her to find out about me from someone else then me. Honestly, I think she knew that I was gay already before I "told" her, but that doesn't matter now.
So it was a normal weekday, I was about to go to bed and my mom was in my parents bedroom reading. I went there, took her cellphone and said: "I'm gonna show you a video, and hopefully, afterwards you will understand why that video means so much to me" I started the video on her phone, gave it to her and then walked away. I went to bed. The video I showed my mom was the musicvideo to Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' Same Love. As I deep down inside of me already knew she right away accepted the fact that her daughter wanted a princess, not a prince.
About a week later I came out on the internet. I wrote a whole speach I think, a really awkward speach actually. In most of it I just talked about how nervous I was and then in the end I just added "I'm gay". All my friends accepted me right away, it was really heartwarming. I think some of them kinda knew aswell but they were really supportive telling me that I'm brave and that they're there for me. I even think some of them were happy to have a gay friend.
Not that many people know that I'm gay, no one in my family except my parents know. I have never said out loud that I am a lesbian and I think I need to work on that. Honestly, I never wanted to come out, I just saw it as a necesity. People take for granted that aslong as you haven't come out you're straight and that's really stupid. People shouldn't be have to come out. I really hope that one day people won't be coming out anymore, they will just be falling in love.

 

I love it too! I cried the first five times I listened to it! That's very nice of you, thank you. Love is love, luck to you too

 

Thank you Yeah I'm glad too (!)
