No, Because I Am

No, Because I Am

Those were the four words that I answered my mother when she asked if I was worried that people would think I was gay. They changed everything. In that moment, my mom's love was front and center, and a whole new journey began for me and my family.

This is an excerpt from my new book, "Aunt BooBoo Has A Girlfriend." Yep, it's the story of my coming out and learning how to be comfortable in my own skin. But it's also the story of families and how they process having a gay family member. Mostly, it's the story of how my mom paved the way for the rest of my life to be happy and healthy.
