Coming out to the people you love most can be an intensely horrifying experience, an intensely gratifying experience, something in between, or a mixture of all of the above. That said, I don’t think there are many who would want to repeat the experience of coming out to their families. Especially from the other side. I don’t think many out and proud gay people would want to actually find such classic lines as “But you can’t be gay! You’re my [foo]!” and “It’s a phase” running through their minds, and on the tips of their tongues. Who among us would want to truly, viscerally understand the shock and, yes, horror that they had visited on others? Certainly not this one.
