Being a 13 year old boy is hard enough, but add being gay on top of that, especially in the current social, political, and religious climate surrounding LGBTQ issues, and I imagine the idea of coming out to your family could be terrifying. This amazing letter—penned by a mother to her 13-year-old son after he came out to her and his dad—gives me hope for our society and especially for other young LGBTQ people who may still be too scared of their family’s possible rejection to be open and true to themselves.
