I just came out to my parents!

devincastro:

I ate at P.F. Chang’s last night and opened my fortune cookie. Read what it said, here. I am a firm believer in fortune cookies, no matter how ridiculous they may sound. In the long run, they end up making sense. This particular one really really encouraged me, because before I opened the cookie, I took a NO H8 photograph with Adam Bouska. Just being a part of a campaign that really meant a lot to me, made me realize that I could tell my parents and hope that they will love me for who I am as a person, as their son.

So, I sat them down this morning and told them straight up. “I’m gay.” They paused for a moment (which seemed as though it were five minutes), looked at each other, then they both started crying. I asked my mom what was wrong and she said, “I’ve always known, Devin. We both knew, we were just waiting for you to be comfortable with who you are and to tell us proudly. We love you so much. I am so proud of you!” Then my father started crying, then I started crying.. It was just so unexpected. I love my family so much, they mean the world to me.

I thought I should share my story, because it really worried me back in January when I wrote this post. Thank you to those that have supported me all this time! You’re all so great, I love you.

I love this story…

    Same here, but, someday, I’ll end up telling it to him. I feel bad lying when things are already obvious. ;w;
