Ready to come out.

My name is Ashley and I live in Austin, tx. I’m a lesbian and I came out to friends at age 9, I’m 15 at the moment. Austin’s a very friendly place and being gay doesn’t shock anybody over here but my mom. I watched every episode and Tracy you were my favorite(: Your mom and my mom have a lot in common. I always skipped ahead so I could watch your part than I’d go back to Whittney. You make me wasn’t just scream to my mom that I’m a lesbians and I’m proud(: I just wish I had your courage. I’ve been hiding from my mom for a long time. She caught me once and was ready to throw me out. She hurt me more that I thought she ever could. She called me every name in the book and made me break up with my girlfriend over the phone. It was tough, I wasn’t allowed to get out of my room for a month. You see my mom is a very difficult person, I love her a lot but I wish she would change like you mom did. I don’t have any real family to talk to about this but my dad and my the girl my mom made me leave. We got back together shortly after and have now been seeing each other behind my moms back for a year and a half. I hate hiding and I wish my mom would be there for me. I just don’t know how to come out without being kicked out as If I’ve never meant nothing to her. I just really need some advice and I thought you would be the perfect person to ask. I just want to be able to tell my mom about the girl I love and get her to take baby steps and accept it but at the rate it going at I feel like that is never going to happen.
