I interrupt our play by play of my great weekend to deliver some interesting news. I got outed. Well, kinda. So, my godmother calls me to apologize for not calling me on my birthday. She asks what I did and I tell her I hung out with some friends. The conversation moves on and I think nothing of it. Until...
She says, 'can I ask you a question? And you promise not to get mad?" I say no problem. Ask away. And then it comes...."Are you gay?"
*crickets*
I didn't know what to say. So I didn't say anything. *dead silence*
She says, "I knew it. I knew it. So how long have you known?"
*crickets*
"So" she says "do you have a girlfriend?" Ummm, what? "Yea" is all I could manage to eek out. "Well, she better be pretty and smart." *I can't breathe* "Are you okay" she asks. "Yea" I whisper. "Don't worry. I won't say nothing till you say something. I love you like my own and won't nothing change that. You know that right." Huh? What the hell is going on?
"You still there?" she says. "Yea." She laughs. "Look, I'm not going to get into the whole ministry versus homosexuality thing. So, calm down." "Okay" *breathe, Foxy, breathe* And just like that the conversation changes. We hang up and I realize that somebody knows. I'm so relieved and it
Makes. No. Sense.
Lol, as awkward as it may have been to have her come at you like that its nice that she did. How cool, and her response, the part about her having your back no matter what, lol....simply amazing! Good for you.
