HolaPapi: “I expected at least some kind of response, but got absolutely nothing. It’s been a few days now, and I’m feeling awful about it.” jpbrammer responds
Illustration: Pedro Nekoi Good news! I recently discovered I’m a lesbian, which was a huge deal for me. I won’t get into it, but there were a lot of bumps along the way and huge lifestyle changes, including breaking up with my significant other. I’m not out to anyone besides my dad, my therapist, and my ex, all of whom have been neutral to supportive.
Indeed, LL, I wish you’d gotten that here. Whether it’s coming out or getting a new job or going through a breakup, it’s always nice to feel like the people in your life get why something is important to you. The reality is much messier, though. Everyone is unique, and people bring their own tastes and points of view to the table. It’s not always or even usually going to be the case that the majority of my readers will respond the way I want. If I focus too hard on that aspect of the process, I end up not so much “making” as I do “catering.”
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying they should be like “who cares!” But I believe you said they were neutral to positive. I think that’s fine! That’s a whole lot better than “negative to hostile.” I think their true reaction will reveal itself in time: if they treat you the same, if they welcome your new girlfriend or don’t shut you down when you talk about That Gay Shit™, well, those are good friends. That’s the good stuff.
