Coming out.

Coming out.
My significant other died last month. 30 years.

Coming out as a lesbian was not easy for me. My parents, who I love, were very hurtful and judgmental about it. They still seem very ashamed of me. They offered, and offer, no support whatsoever. Your typical MAGA, conservative Catholics. They have pretty much ghosted themselves from my world. That totally sucks. And the death of my loved one sucks. One day, far too late in my life, I came to the realization that I need to be who I am. I probably went a little over the top with being so visible about it. Anti-war demonstrations, pro-choice events, gay pride - I was, and still am, totally invested in these issues. To anyone thinking of coming out, please do. It can be difficult and hard but, ultimately, it is very liberating..

Perhaps they are supporting the OP. They are supporting her with their silence.

Ny guess is the parents already knew this stuff already and are relieve that they no longer have to support this kiddo financially. Sad but happy at the same time.

1. The "MAGA" slogan was coined 9 years ago. So Kath2's parents could not be "MAGA" 30 years ago.

2. Kath2's parents were "judgmental" because they reacted to Kath2's , "Surprise! I'm a lesbian with a lover!" announcement badly in Kath2's opinion? Shocking! Kath2's parents actually believe what they claimed to believe! How crazy is that?! I suspect that a more objective onlooker might view the parents' reaction less judgmentally than Kath2.

3. Kath2's description of her past activism probably is essential context to her parents' "no support whatsoever". Her participation in "pro-choice" and "gay pride" events were public repudiation of Catholic doctrine. Maybe her parents expressed their views less than perfectly, but faithful Catholics could hardly be expected to support that.

4. 30 years after her "coming out", Kath2's self-centered inability to consider others' POVs is almost entirely intact.

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
