You're a girl in love with a girl, aren't you?
So Happy National Coming Out Day!
I know it's only in the US, but, right now, I'm making it official in Brazil. o/

christycorr managed to sum it up for me. So, do take a look at her post on the matter.
It's been... two years now since I first told my mother I was bisexual. I've changed a lot during this time, I've grown, I've acquired new friends, I've taken care of old ones... And yet my mother and my father have always and in every way respected me, especially on this matter. They've always backed me up, asked me about my girlfriends without budding in, taken care of me, given me good advice, been understanding, been, above all things, the best parents I could ask for.
Of course they're not perfect. But, they're very close from it.
Few people know what I have been going through, since I was thirteen, when it comes to other people's parents. Fewer people know what my girlfriends and friends had to endure. I just hope that everyone will start to be more conscious and get out of the narrow-minded world they live in. The day will yet come when gay people will be able to kiss in public shamelessly, without reproachaable looks or getting kicked out of places for doing so, get married, form a family, and be accepted.
We - Brazil in particular - are still crawling when it comes to that. A lot of obstacles are yet to come, and they won't be easy. My parents are my greatest example that changing is possible. And I couldn't be more proud of them.
"- You a little jumpy today Stein?
- No.
- You got a hot date?
- No.
- Yeah. Who's the guy?
- There's no guy.
- Oh come on, you're a terrible, terrible liar.
- Trust me, there's no guy." - Josh and Jessica, Kissing Jessica Stein.
Ps: and long live Metrobius. o/

A couple grammatical notes:
"Without budding in" should be, "without butting in." Odd phrase, I know, but that's how it is.
"But, they're very close from it," should be, "But they're very close to it." You're far from something and close to something else.

Oh, thanks a lot! I will correct it.
W really need to make the grammar lessons come true.no subject
