My followers on Twitter and Instagram had been privy to this information for months. But a Facebook announcement means all of the extended family, hers and mine, now have access to what still feels like a secret.
While I've been proudly out for almost two years, among my family, it still wasn’t common knowledge. My mind began to race: Who was going to see?
Would my anti-LGBTQ cousin report the news back to my devout grandmother in South Carolina? Would I lose family who decided to judge me before they even know me?But somehow, just like every other moment thus far, we survived.My girlfriend and I were old friends who reconnected after college in October of last year.
