Probably my favorite coming out story -- since there are so many -- involves my mom.

When I first told her I was queer, I was 24 years old and had just entered into my first real relationship. This news, my mom did not take well. She cried, she gnashed her teeth, she wondered out loud what she did wrong. In other words, her reaction was typical.

Two days later, she was over it. In fact, once the tears were dry, she professed to have known all along.

Two months later, she was really over it. Especially when I refused her request to come home to Pennsylvania for Thanksgiving since no one else in the family knew I was gay.

“I don't want to be living a lie," I whined. (Or some such drama inducing crap.)
