#3: How is This Relevant?
The thing about coming out is that no matter what, the person who is coming out should choose exactly how and when to do so. A lot of thought and consideration goes into something so big as coming out that no one wants to feel like they have been “outed” without their consent.
So sometimes you just have to take responsibility and bite the bullet, and that’s exactly what this girl did. Not only did she manage to find the courage to answer this particular (somewhat irrelevant) question truthfully, but her mom’s reaction was beautiful. Sure, it might have just been a smile, but a smile says a lot.
