The Cat's Out of the Bag - Officially

Two nights ago, at 4 a.m., while responding to emails in my sleepy state, I answered my uncle's note about my grandma. But instead of just replying about how my grandparents are having a few issues walking, I finally made reference to the fact that I know that he knows I'm gay.

Because a few months back, my cousin T told me that while at the hospital in Wichita, KS, they all discussed my life - including Chris. So, I knew it was no longer a secret. As a result, I finally decided to let the "cat out of the bag" - officially. His response? And I quote, "Yes, I've pretty much known your sexual orientation for many years but that
has never changed my opinion of you."

What a great response. Too bad that's not always the case when gay and lesbian individuals decide to tell their families. If so, the world would be a much happier place - for everyone.
