    Okay, I came out to my parents and my sister today. Three good, yet different stories.

    Around 8:00, I came out to my mom. We started watching Transparent yesterday, and today I watched a few episodes ahead. I was talking to her, with my sister there. I said it's a good show, but my only complaint is the inappropriateness. I said an example was that at one point, I saw a part of Carrie Brownstein (who I am a big fan of) I didn't want to see. They were joking I'm anti-boob. Around that time, my sister went into her room. My mom has been wondering for a while what my sexuality is. I tried avoiding it, and she asked who I like, then thought "meh, f*** it", and said that it depends if it's sexual or romantic. I told her I would date anyone, but not have sex. She said "So, like pansexual, but for romance", and I said "Yeah, panromantic". So, she found out I am a panromantic asexual. She started doing more research on the + part of LGBT+, and we talked a little about it, and I explained some of it.

    Around 9:00, I was talking to my sister. She asked what was going on with me, and all I said was "Mama found out", and she said that she ALREADY KNOWS! I was laughing for a while after that.

    Around 9:40, I was talking to my dad. This time, I was ready to announce it. I told him that my mom found out, and started explaining what it is first, and said that I'm a panromantic asexual. He smiled and hugged me, and said something I don't really remember because I was just so happy.

    I guess next would be my gay friend who I accidentally made think I'm straight (and kind of want to date). Hey, something to talk about at the diversity club next week!
