Man Supported for Coming Out To Homophobic Family During Sister's Wedding
shared his story to the r/AmITheA**hole subreddit, asking if he was wrong for "ruining" his sister's wedding by coming out after a torrent of goading comments, earning over 6,500 upvotes and 1,000 comments in 10 hours.The original poster (OP), says he's 29, and hadn't come out to his family yet—saying he feels they suspected, but never asked him outright due to his family's homophobia.
He has three sisters, "Michelle," 36, "Julia," 35 and "Annie," 22. Michelle's wedding was last week. During the toasts at the reception, his father cracked a joke at OP's expense."I finally have my first son in law, and hopefully I will soon have two more.
Maybe someday even a daughter in law if sissypants here mans up and gets a [girlfriend]," u/UserMempsh describes his father saying.He says that everyone laughed, except for Julia, who came over to check on him to make sure he was okay.
He told her he was fine, but that his father's joke "bugged" him. She told him that he should try to let it go, at least during the rest of the night, and he tried to.As the night went on, however, his family continued to push him.
