A happy coming-out

I did it. I made the official announcement to my mother (in my own twisty way): “So, I’m actually pretty gay.”

She said, “Yeah, I kind of knew that.”

I've hinted at it before in conversation with her. I called her once after ending it with a girl who broke my heart and she took it in stride, but we never really addressed it head-on.

She is Church of Christ hardcore and I converted to Judaism because of the other side of my family. She wishes I accepted Jesus but she says at least we worship the same god.

I asked her what it was like to have a gay Jewish daughter.

She said, “I love you.”
