Colman Domingo spoke to Men's Health about his experience coming out as gay to his family in the 1990s. The first person he told was his older brother:
"I told him that I was gay. He looked at me and was just like, 'What?' He just couldn’t believe it. Eventually, he said, 'I don’t care, man. I love you anyway.' And he just hugged me. Then he said, 'Have you told anyone else?' I said, no. He said, 'Alright, this stays between you and me.”’
Her sister found out two days later:
"She was pissed off. I said, 'Look, yes, it was really hard for me to tell him.' She said, 'No, no, no. Why didn’t you tell me first?' She was pissed off because she didn’t get the information first.’
Some time later, he told his mother—who accepted it calmly. Twenty minutes later, the phone rings and she says:
“I talked to your stepfather.” She puts him on and he says, in his blue-collar masculine way, “You’re a good boy and there’s nothing you can tell me that would make me stop loving you.”’

Things done out of love for the wrong person can never be something you shame the doer for.
She loved through words and actions, some of you are dead inside and can never understand what that is,
Yall should sit this one out.
maturing is realizing none of us are easy to be with. It's about who's willing to stay committed to understanding you and actually wants to grow with you.
