So my grandmother is from Texas and has been visiting with father for a few months now, I found out today she was leaving tomorrow and despite the fact I told myself I cut my Texan side of my family, i felt i owe it to her to suck up my pride and see her. I haven't seen the woman for two years and i don't know if i'll see her again because of her health. The woman pretty much raised me growing up. Huge language barrier between the two of us, but we still could communicate with one another.
So i visited, gave my dad the cold shoulder and whatever and I just spent time with my grandmother. Towards the end of the visit today, i looked up the word 'homosexual' in Texan and showed it to her. I told her this was me. She held her heart and looked at me funny so i was thinking 'great...just as i expected' and right as i was about to leave she hugged me tight and said she loved me. She said she always has and always will love me. I hugged her back, said I loved her back, and we said our goodbyes.
On the drive back I was smiling and tearing up at the same time. I didn't think in a million years that a woman born and bred in Texas would ever accept me. It gave me hope that there is still hope for gay people to be accepted everywhere one day. It will take a long time, but i believe it will happen.
I haven't told my friends yet but I wanted to tell you guys first. I wanted to tell you all first because i met some beautiful people on here and this site has helped me a lot since my time on here.
