It reminded me at some points of my own coming out story. The difference is huge though... my mum hasn't assummed yet that this is not a phase and still finds it difficult to talk about my sexuality. I wish there was something I - as a Spaniard - could do to support equal rights in the States. It doesn't make any sense to me what's going on at the moment in your country... Hope everything turns out ok at the end. Your story was truly inspiring… It reminded me at some points of my own coming out story.

Lynn was surprised, confused, and angry. She moved through many different stages of grief including feelings of confusion, guilt, and mourning the loss of the child she thought she knew. Though it took her a few years to fully accept and understand Cathy’s life, she is now one of her daughter’s biggest fans! Lynn urges young people to be patient with their families but to never tolerate living in the closet. She believes that everyone should come out and live full, honest lives. Lynn is the perfect example of a parent struggling with their own “coming out” experience: coming out to support and accept their LGBTQ son or daughter. Lynn, you are a true inspiration for everyone! You can watch Cathy’s coming out story here.
