Default Came out to church worship leader!

I've known her for almost my whole life, and I told her this morning right after the service. She said she was "extremely honored that I trusted her with this." And said that she suspected it ever since I was 4 years old. Lol, I guess I was a pretty feminine 4 year old? She was totally cool with it!

It's pretty cool that you came out to your worship leader and that she is accepting. Congratulations!
