So obviously, as Christian as my parents are, they did not take it super well when I came out of the closet.

Mostly because I did that come out of the closet, they read my journal when I was 17.

Yes, Gasp is right.

It was rough because at that point in my life, my journal was less of like an introspective thoughts and dreams journal

and more of just a buzzfeed list of guys

dicks i was sucking you know like uh no content to sift through just straight to the headlines

it was clickbait for my parents uh they couldn't resist they had to see it um it was tough for them

but what's even funnier so i mentioned i was adopted i have two adopted siblings they're to my mom and dad. And I have an older brother and a couple of years ago, he also came out of the closet, which is like, you know, like, I couldn't have planned a better prank, you know, like that. Oh, you pumped them good. Jesus. I can't. Oh, it's so funny. It's so delicious to me

because my parents,

they really, like, they truly rolled the dice there, you know? Like, they made one themselves. They got one off the rack and they both turned out gay, you know? Like, I don't know what the scientific argument is there, but that feels like nurture bitch, okay? That feels like, your fault.

On this episode of the commercial break.

My mom and I are on, you know, about as good as terms as we could be considering our differences.

I was emancipated when I was 17, when they found out I was gay, didn't talk to them again until I was in college, reconciled a little bit in college, and then, you know, things have gotten steadily better. I mean, right before my dad passed, we were in the best place that we'd ever been in as father and son, I think, for my entire life. So I'm really grateful that I had that time with him before he passed. And, you know, my mom and I are, you know, good. I think, you know, she's not coming to my wedding. She's not supportive of that part of my life. But the fact is, is that it doesn't bum me out. It doesn't make me sad. It barely think about it because, quite honestly, I stopped expecting certain things from my family a long time ago over a decade ago.

The next episode of the commercial break starts now.

Oh, yeah, cats and kittens.
