I just came out to my Mom.
I got this e-mail:
"New York Times looking for middle school students to interview
Greetings!
This is Daryl Presgraves, GLSEN's Public Relations Manager. I'm working with a reporter for the New York Times Magazine on a story about LGBTQQ students in middle school.
The reporter would like to interview LGBTQQ middle school students about their experiences at school and in life. Please email me if you are interested in talking to the reporter. The reporter is willing to use a different name for you to protect your identity if you would prefer.
Please email me if you or a friend of yours might be interested in being interviewed. I'm happy to prep you before they talk to the reporter.
You can also email the reporter, Benoit Denizet-Lewis, directly at benoitlewis@comcast.net
Thanks, Daryl Presgraves

I was talking to Squall about it, and my Mom asked what I was talking about. I read her the e-mail. She asked what LGBTQQ was. I told her it meant Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, or Questioning. She asked me which I was. I told her lesbian. Then we had this whole conversation and she asked me all these questions, but she told me she was fine with it and loves me just the way I am. :)
Happy, happy, happy. I need to do my homework now, so I'll talk to y'all later! -gracie

Things are changing. I think for the better. I guess we'll see.

You mean you haven't told your mom before? Well, at least she's okay with it. I don't know what I would do if I told my mom that I was Lesbian and she made me change. No, I'm not actually Lesbian, it was just an example, but I have nothing against anyone in LGBTQQ!
That was brave of you- it's hard to do.
