Would it be more believable and reliable if they said it on twitter ? <| sep |> I first came out to a friend of mine when I was 15 yearsold 25 now as a test . I figured a friend is replaceable so if she reacted badly then it was no real loss , you know ? Fortunately she reacted wonderfully . That following Christmas we sent each other cards . In the card she sent to me she mention how I was her only gay friend and how cool that was . After a while my mom asked if she could read the card since she didn ' t just open it herself . I could have said No , it ' s stupid , I don ' t want you reading it and I know she would have dropped it , but instead I said Yeah , sure . She took the card , walked to her run to get something from her big bag of ~~ diabeteus ~~ candy , then she walked back into my room with a look on her face . I think it was the look of surprise and a bit of anger that , A , I didn ' t tell her myself and , B , she would never get any grandkids from me and that ' s one she kinda looks forward to even to this day , though obviously not as much . She asked me Is what ' s in this card true ? and I looked at him dead in the eyes and said Yes . It ' s true . She walked away for a bit , to take it all in , and then came back a minute or two later and told me I ' m fine with it . I still love you , GenericUsername 42069 and handed the card back to me . I told her Thanks mom . I love you , too . Aaaand that ' s pretty much it . In hindsight it was probably a dumb idea to let her read it in a card instead of me telling her to her face , but then again coming out before I was financially independent was an even stupider thing to do even if the reaction I got was a good one .
