My 18 year old cousin, who I haven’t been in touch with in 10 years, has just texted and came out to me as bi, saying she’s petrified of telling her mother. My aunt knows I’m gay. So glad I paved the way in this dysfunctional family. /1

My cousin is adopted and among many other physical issues has fetal alcohol syndrome which causes psychotic episodes. Somehow she is in a relationship with a girl and I couldn’t be happier. /2

As I’m typing this thread my cousin came out to my aunt, who said it doesn’t change anything and was super accepting. Didn’t think there would be any other outcome, but so happy it went well. /3 #yaygay #LGBTQ
