My cousin is two years younger than me. We all knew he was gay when we were little even though we didn't really know what that meant. He just posted this over on FB.
@dauphin87 I couldn't even admit to myself for many years who I was, family didn't know. First time I attended a pride event in Chicago I went to see Boys town for the first time. As I turned the corner I saw several couples holding hands. I was so moved I broke down and cried. Its such a small thing it should never have been an event.
@dauphin87 Same here. We all knew my cousin Maria was gay from a very young age, but no one rejected her in any way.. Our whole family accepted her when she came out. I'm so proud of my family for that. Devout Italian Catholic too.
