Response to coming out letter
16 years ago
Raven opens her mouth and a voice is heard.
About a month ago, I sent a coming out letter off to one of my Aunts, and I wasn't sure what to expect. Today I received a response.
Dear Gina
It seems so strange to call you Gina....Since the day you were born, you have been our "Little Richard." It will take me some time to get used to your new name, so forgive me if I slip and call you Richard...It's just that old habits are hard to break. I only want what's best for you, and if this is what you feel you must do, I support you 100%. Just be sure to take advantage of all the counseling that is available. I admit I do not know much about Gender Dysphoria, but I do know you have the right to be happy. Know that i love you and only want what is best for you.
I am so sorry your mother has not seen fit to support you. I think she has been brain-washed by some bible-thumping minister who unfortunately thinks the bible can only be interpreted one way. I feel the bible is a guideline to live life by. It cannot be taken literal. I believe in God, the Life here-after, and that each and every one of us will atone for our sins at the Pearly Gates. I don't believe you have to sit in the front pew each and every Sunday morning to be a good person. I think that you can talk to God anywhere and any time. He will always listen to and answer our prayers....just sometimes not the answer we want.
I am so glad that you have to support of Rachel and Zack, your father of course, and your biggest fan, Aunt Marilyn. How could you go wrong with these people in your corner?
Aunt Marilyn says you plan to move to Toronto fairly soon. it's a big city with alot of nuts. Please be very careful. I hope to see you before you go. Please keep in touch
(Email and phone number included)
With much love, Aunt Lillian.
