I was probably 13 , and camping in Canada . I had insisted on sleeping in a different tent than my parents . In the middle of the night I heard something moving around , breathing right next to me , so I called over to my parent ' s tent . I heard the tent unzip , and my dad ' s voice saying It ' s just a raccoon , go back to sleep and eventually I did . Well the next day there ' s this bear running around the campground and the park rangers had to shoot it with a tranquilizer . It turns out that said bear was actually inches away from me the night prior and my dad , not wanting me to panic had told me it was a raccoon . <| sep |> I remember being sat on my bed about 10 years ago and my mum came into my room to tell me that my older brother had just come out as gay and if I was OK with that . Of course I was . My whole family were . A year later I came out too and my mum hugged me and said ' we always knew '. Now I think back there ' s one moment when I was clothes shopping with my mum and I picked up a tshirt that I liked and my mum commented it ' s something my gay brother would wear . now I see the hint hahaI ' m one of 6 and my mum fucking owns having two gay sons .
