Did you ever come out (with something) to your parents?

I remember coming out to my mom. I did it when I already moved out and her already having met my then-girlfriend definitely helped. I assumed she wouldn't react with anger, I knew I was save and not dependent on her or my father, I was pretty sure any queerphobic views were rooted in ignorance and not hostility. And yet, I still remember almost choking on my own heartbeat. That's been 13 years ago now.

I wanted Flix' parents to react affectionately but not perfectly, given that they were quite suprised. The most important thing is that they accept and support Flix though, so making it a bit about themselves, being a bit unsure and clumsy doesn't matter in the end. 💕

Writing this made me kinda emotional. I'm sending hugs to everyone who wants them!
