I came out to my family today, bits of which are narcissistic and/or homophobic Trump supporters. It went about as well as expected. (kbin.social)

I feel hollow and sick.

I'm not well.

You're perfect as you are. The sickness is in them, not you.

You've stopped dreaming, and you've started being. As it's Saturday Night, and nearing midnight, I'm calling in Dr. Frankenfurter to treat your family for the afflictions they suffer. While they're undergoing Transylvanian therapy, take comfort that even if your blood can't see how brave you were tonight, you've got plenty of us out here who salute your courage.

Thank you for being lovely. I appreciate you so much. Rocky Horror is so comforting.

No thanks needed, Braveheart. You're through the hardest part - it won't be an easy path, but you can walk it with pride now, and you have an army at your back. Your courage is inspiring - and will lead others to free themselves as well.

So much love and appreciation. This means so much to me.

Family can suck - trust me, I know. We've got your back.
