In honor of National Coming Out Day (October 11th), I will share one of my many coming out stories, this being a light-hearted one.

When I want to be out to everyone, there are always stragglers who I just haven’t come out to yet.  Among those stragglers are the entirety of my extended family on my mother’s side (the Chinese side).  It just never comes up, because they don’t talk about that sort of thing.  Or so I thought.
