Capítulo 76: Chapter 76

“Mama, I am so glad that I’m able to say this to you in person. The months that we did not speak were miserable for me because next to Yolanda, you are the person who I trust and love the most. You have sacrificed so much for us and have taken such good care of us. I love being your daughter but I also love being the woman that I am and being with the woman I am with now. If you cannot accept me for who I am then I can accept not talking to you. It would hurt me to my heart, but I deserve better than to be treated badly because of who I am and who I’m with.”

“So you would turn your back on me and the rest of your family for the sake of some woman you just met?” my mother hissed in a low voice.

“No, you and the family would turn your back on me because you want to take the words that have been written by man over what you see and feel in your heart. I am gay but I’m still your daughter. I wish you could understand that one doesn’t change the fact of the other.”
