    Okay, so in my LGBT youth group, we were interviewed and had pictures taken for a magazine called "One in Three" which is aboot diversity in Wolverhampton. I thought, Oh it's a diversity magazine, nobody's going to see it.

    So guess who did?

    My aunt.

    How the hell did she see it? Not only did she see it, she texted my mom to let her know that I was in it (not a problem though, seeing as my mom knew I had been interviewed and photographed), and sent a copy of the PDF to us.

    Now seeing as the e-mail contained "all the best" and the text just said "Holly looks relaxed and happy in the article", I have absolutely no clue aboot what she thinks, who else in the family knows, anything! But one things for sure; there is no bad feelings in the e-mail or text, so I'm assuming she doesn't have a problem.

    So there we go, another one down. I'm just hoping that word doesn't spread to my catholic aunt now.....

    Well, it's certainly a novel way of coming out. It is good that your aunt texted your mum and acknowledged what she read. Go aunty!
     
  12. That's awesome that she was cool with it. Post the article, please? :icon_bigg *bats eyelashes* ~megan~

    Just for you guys, here's a copy of the article. :grin:

    EDIT: And you can ignore the health fayre thing, they just put the article across two pages and slapped that on the bottom. Unfortunately my scanner doesn't crop images.

  17. thats really cool =]

    at least your aunt seemed to be cool about it, although if that was my aunt, i'd have serious queries about how she came to read such an article =]
