TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY COMING OUT PARTY
On July 1, 2009, when I was 16, I came out. Although I had decided to take it to my grave out of shame, I couldn't keep it to myself that day. I told my mom that I liked girls, I cried because I didn't want her to be ashamed of her children. She responded with: "Well Saartje, that's not bad at all, is it?"
