26. Yes, but it took 10 years for them to get to that point.

I came out to them at 32. It was bad. My mom vomited. She could not say "I love you" to me for many months.

Ten years later, I just learned that my dad spoke up against intolerance of homosexuals at a bible school class!

Until now, I would have said I wasn't sure.

Now, they both would come to my wedding - and it may happen pretty soon.

Dealing with prejudice among those you love takes a lot of patience and hope.

peace
