I knew I was going to marry a man when I was in elementary school. I was scared that my parents will ruin my wedding if I only come out then. Therefore, I decided to let my parents know that I was gay. I did not think it was a smart idea to tell them face to face. So I put my notebook on my desk, pretending that was a diary. If they found out, I could still argue that they invaded my privacy. While I had everything planned out, but nothing worked. It was a tough journey coming out of the closet. I was beaten by my father a few times. My mother accepted it when I entered college. We have a great relationship. However, a completely broken relationship with my father. This is not too bad either. Time is precious, I am spending them on the ones I love and care about.
