Recently my parents came up for a visit for a few days. They had been planning to take an Alaska cruise for years with some close friends of theirs and finally decided to make it happen. Before leaving, each of them wanted a new pair of shoes for formal night but couldn’t find any they liked in stores. So I dug into my closet and found them each a pair that they loved!

It felt so good not to have to hide this part of myself any more that I really did want to tell the world – convinced that they would be as accepting as my girlfriend had been. I’ve seen both my parents and the rest of my family quite a few times over the last couple years, but the moment never seemed right. That moment finally came a few weeks ago.
