Unexpected pleasant surprise today… When I came out to my relatives a month or so ago, all of them were supportive (most more than some), but I’d not heard back from my Fox News-loving uncle.

Mom pointed out that I hadn’t ask for a response in my email, so maybe he just hadn’t gotten around to replying and/or needed time to digest things.

Got an email from him today, saying he probably wouldn’t make the family get-together in SoCal because my aunt has been ill, and by the way, “We want you to know that we support you in your new life.”
