… I just realised that for the last two days, I’ve been using ‘coming out to my family’ as procrastination from my dissertation.

…

what does it say about me when I pointedly put myself in the path of a bunch of religious, questionably sane people rather than doing my work

at least it’s been interesting

If anyone is curious, though, I got overwhelmingly positive responses and the people that I worried about ended up being cool with it, even though their messages insinuate that they are praying that I will ‘get better and get married to some very-fertile clean-shaven dudebro with a serious love for the big man upstairs so we can spit out fifty thousand god-fearing straight kids’ anyway.

That was 3 or 4 out of the 15 members of my family that have facebook though, so…

OH WELL

(I knew this gif would come in handy someday)
