im curious about a specific generational divide
regardless of you being queer or not, did your parents ever gave you the "if you turn out to be gay it would be fine" talk, before you ever had the chance to say anything on your own about that?

because it happened to me and im wondering if this was a product of the ongoing cultural change around gay issues. before i ever had the chance to say to my parents "i am this" my mom was already sitting me aside to tell me "if there is anything you want to tell me, i want you to know ill accept you no matter what"
#no but i knew my mom had gay friends#and my dad was cool with him and his friend getting the good seats and kitchen tables and things in nawlins bc people thought they were gay#i wasn't like. acutely afraid to come out. that's not even right. i was afraid but it was the irrational hindbrain panic-fear#like i KNEW i was safe. but what if. you know? air travel is safe but what if. that kind of thing.#so i blurted it out and then S P R I N T E D immediately for the schoolbus
