    Ok, I'm tired from all the coming out I've done in the past couple weeks. I don't know if you've kept up, but a couple weeks ago I said I came out to my friend Nat. Then last weekend I came out to my sister, her husband, and my roommate.

    Last night I came out to my mom. Actually, I told her I was talking to a girl. The words gay and lesbian never came up, but that doesn't matter. Her response? "You know I don't care. I just want you to be happy." Go, Mom! Actually, I knew that would be her response, but I still put off telling her. We talked about other random stuff for a while, it wasn't awkward at all. Then I told her about who knew. She got upset that so many people knew before her (around 25-30 people now. Wow.) She asked if I told my brother, and I said no. He is one of the people I'm unsure about because he used to be really big on religion (used to, now has a gf and has discovered sex.) Finally, I told her that she could tell my stepdad. She said "thank you." They don't keep secrets from each other, so I'm sure she was glad about that one.

    Anywho, like I said, I am done coming out for a while. If it comes up, then I'll deal with it. But Mom was my last one that I had set a deadline for telling.

    Congratulations! That is really great to hear. You definitely deserve to buy yourself a root beer float and take a break - parents are hard. I haven't come out to mine yet, but I know the immense pressure there.
