I would strongly advise any and every young lesbian against coming out this way to their mothers! At the time I was heartbroken and crying my eyes out but looking back I have to laugh…..
I took my mom out to lunch after a long morning of canvassing for No on 8 and we were having a casual conversation. I felt light and happy and my mom seemed stress free (rare for her) so I decided to break the news. "Mom, I have something to tell you……I’m pregnant……JUST KIDDING, IM GAY!" omg, she looked at me with shock…"please tell me you are actually pregnant!"
She was pissed and we didn’t talk for a few weeks. Everything’s great now but it turns out she had been crossing her fingers for a grandkid for awhile! Sorry Mom!
