A Post About My Family

Oo-oo-oh, Lesbians in Spaa-aaa-aaa-aaace!

This picture is pretty hot; although to be honest, what really catches my eye is the boots.

I want to have a pair of magenta thigh-high sex boots with matching gloves. I wonder if she also has a headband on under all that red hair.

That blond should grab her by the hair and yank her head back so that we all can see.

Speaking of spacey lesbians ...

Today at school I passed an information booth for our LGBT group. In case you don’t know, LGBT stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered. It got me to thinking about my situation.

You see, although I am mostly ‘out’ to my coworkers and fellow students, I’m not out to my family, except for my brother Robbie. I’m not exactly afraid of how they’ll react. It’s complicated.

You see, I’m not really close to either of my parents. Oh, we get along fine, but there’s never really been any strong emotions good or bad. My family isn’t really a source of absolute comfort, guilt, excitement, anxiety or anything. They’re just another … well … routine part of my life. I’ve never really told my parents much about my life, and we don’t really talk all that much. We’ve never really had any fights or issues or anything. They’re just these people I grew up with who just happened to live with me.

So, it would be really weird for me to make this big revelation about my sexual orientation. I mean, it’s not like they’re the sort of parents who keep asking me when I’m going to get married or have babies. We don’t really discuss much other than our jobs and our health and my hometown. I don’t live there anymore, but they still do.

I just think that sort of conversation would be so intimate and self-revealing and awkward!

Jenn is totally out to her family, and they’re totally supportive. In fact, they know I’m her girlfriend and they think I’m just peachy-keen. Jenn occasionally has me over for a big family dinner. Her family is quite interesting.

How does Jenn feel about all this, you ask? Well, on the one hand, she thinks my situation is amusing. She actually has met my parents briefly, and she likes to joke about how WASP and stoic they are. So she completely understands how weird a coming-out conversation would be for me.

On the other hand, she is a little miffed that my family doesn’t know about her. I mean, we’ve been dating for quite a while now and I guess like any girlfriend, she likes to have a certain status in my life. We don’t fight about it, although occasionally our discussions about the matter may get a little tense. But as I point out to her, she’s been introduced to my friends and my brother as my girlfriend, so her girlfriend status is secure with the people who are important to me. Just for clarity’s sake, my brother Robbie does live in the same city as me.

I just know that someday my parents will see me put it together about Jenn and I, but until then, I’m keeping silent on the topic. It’s too much effort to tell them, and it isn’t really necessary.

*sigh*
