I was in the closet until I went to University and so scared of my mum finding out. My mum is my everything and I thought she would not accept me.

I met a boy I love and introduced him to my family. My mum did cry but not because I was gay but because she was sad that I couldn’t be my true self with her for the first 20 years of my life.

My message is that when your parents love you, they will love you no matter who you love. Xx
