This is my family
I know I've been on this huge "I'm such a gay-ass lesbian" tangent lately but check this out. My Aunt Leonor was on NPR's All Things Considered. I talk about my aunt fairly often as I'm pretty sure that she had a lot to do with how accepting my parents (specifically my dad) have become with my soft-butch love parade (we all call it that, right?). It took work and patience, people but my father took part in my gay wedding ceremony last year. So, we've reached an understanding. I'm so proud my aunt went out and made such a difference in other people's lives. I love to tell her story. That's my blood. My tolerant blood.

wow how cool. i wish my mom would talk about it and could hear how other parents have worked through their feelings. i think my mom has felt kind of alone about the issue since i came out to her 12 years ago. she's come a long way but she doesn't talk about it with other people and i think she worries about me and it makes her sad.
that's great you have a lesbian cousin! also that's great about your dad!
Well, you could always drop off a little PFLAG literature/website addresses for your mom and hope for the best. They seem to have chapters nationwide. She might ignore your good intentions but you never know...
