Vicky, this topic has drawn a variety of responses and it?s very interesting to see how everyone is responding to different specific aspects of your story through the lenses of their own experiences. This story obviously has touched a lot of nerves in a lot of different ways.
I have a different take-away than anyone else so far, and that is this. I?M SO FREAKING PROUD OF YOU!!! Speaking up when you see bigotry and hate takes an enormous amount of courage, and even more so when it?s your family. We can?t just sit idly by and hope people stop being homo- and transphobic. You took a huge risk in doing what you did, but it?s for the betterment of us all, so THANK YOU. You deserve a round of applause.
