Go on date with man. Tell mom going to gym with coworker. He didn't think we'd actually go but I'm not a liar so his makeup is ruined.

Leaving. He wants to go to families house. I don't want to. So we're just driving around, asking me where to go. Inadvertently give directions to the house. We both can't believe it.

Sit out under stars. I Apolgize in advance in case I'm uncomfortable since new to me. Turns out the stubble is the only difference with men.

Lireral romcom ass date.

Dropped off at home. Told mom "well, I got a bit of the gay." She laughed and said "Do we need to talk about it" shrugged "don't think so"

He moved in 3 months later.

Telling my Gma was funny. Never saw her eyebrows go that high. Think she was more taken aback that he was brown than a man lmao.

Feel lucky everyday for an accepting environment. Have heard many horror stories.

What was yours?

My sibling asked me to 'come out' from a specific place, and I, jokingly replied 'Ok, I'm bi!'

no reaction

Not even from my parents who were in the room at the same time (for context my younger siblings were like 10 or something)

Later, I causally mentioned in conversation that I was bi and nonbinary, so my mother told me 'everyone's a little bit bi' and that being nonbinary was a mental health disorder or possibly a figment of my imagination, although they're a bit more supportive now, I think they still think those things.

Oh, and I told my friends and they were like 'that's cool, I'm LGBT+ too!'
