zandertoySo yesterday was Gay pride.
This was definitely not an ordinary gay pride celebration. On Saturday Mom called and said that she wanted to come and support our love by coming to the parade.
This was really sweet because normally I never think to include family to gay events because I wasn’t accepted before. Mom asking to come for support was really special and it showed how supportive she has become.
I remember the first time that I came out to her and her reaction was the complete opposite of what she is now. She dis-owned me over the phone and told me that I was no longer her son.
I am so proud at how far she has become. I know that every parent has certain dreams and wishes for their children but in the end you can’t forget that you should love them now matter what. If you child is naughty or does bad things you never stop loving them. Why should loving someone of the same sex be any different?
So thanks to Mom coming to the parade she invite Aunt Cindy, Ariel and Ant Amy and the triplets. Hanging with Ant Amy and the triplets didn’t happen until after we left the parade because of all the barricades. We were kiddie corner from each other but the barricades do not allow you to cross over so we decided to grab lunch together after the parade.
Ended up taking them to delicious Sichuan restaurant. Aunt Cindy actually agrees that this was better than the Sichuan restaurant that I took her to before.
Afterwards we bought some ice cream and had dessert at our Apartment.
Completely exhausted after the long day but definitely a memorable one.
