And even when I feel like a million dollar and ready for an extra dosis of blogging, this thing that is happening to me is surreal!!
So as you know, I went to sunny Florida to have an emotional encounter with my mama after 6 years of not seeing her. I spent an amazing time with her and my aunts during the mother's day weekend.
My mission for this trip besides this quality time spent in Florida was to come out to my mom and have a long and friendly conversation with her.
Well, unfortunately I couldn't find a mother/son time during this trip and I blame it on all the million relatives and family friends that my mama introduced me to.
This is a latin thing, you know! Even when I'm not related to these persons I found myself having more than 20 tias (aunts) and a thousand of primos (cousins).
Back in NY, I found myself a little dissapointed but fully convinced that it was not the right time for me to confess this little secret.
Well, as you know, destiny acts in very strange ways and this weekend in Lima, Peru while my super nice sister (which is also a modern and cool mom) was creating her profile on myspace, she browsed my name and then found my profile on that popular site.
Big and incredible was her surprise when Ana found out that her brother Jorge's sexual orientation is GAY .
Early this morning I found her email asking me for the truth and nothing else than the naked truth.
I couldn't lie to her! For more than 10 years I've been true to myself and today June 2nd has been one of the most important days of my life when I confessed to my sister (by email) that I am a gay man living in NY.
Everything is COOL!! Ana has become my good friend and confident(one more time and after more than 25 years of not having a close and friendly relationship).
La Mama is next... Things can only get better...
PS:I still feel so kooky for coming out to my sister "on-line".These are definitely modern times!! I wonder what's next? Getting fired or quitting your job on youtube?
HAPPY PRIDE MONTH TO EVERYONE!!
