The best holiday gift--give the gift of TRUTH

Hi, folks!
I wrote this in response to an article on my good pal J. Frederico's site Equal4All, in which they'd done a story about coming out over the holidays.

Here was my response. Take what you need from it, and leave the rest. And please write in with more questions. I've hit the 4,000 mark with your letters, thank you!

On with the response:

"I came out at the beach to my family… holding hands with my mom in beach chairs…
And in the water with Dad while we were surfing.
So if you find yourself in a warm climate this holiday season, and you’re considering coming out, please think about this piece of advice my friends Graciela Melzer and Andy Cohen gave me about coming out to my family:

“Well, really, there’s no wrong way to do it. Just do it.”

They and their comment gave me the courage to go through with it. And I had my best friends at home as back ups. Just in case. If you want to ask more, please feel free to contact me at perrymoorestories.com.

I can tell you all about my “outer-vention” that my best friends in my fraternity planned for me. Still my closest friends today. Gave me the strength to be me!

Happy holidays to all. The truth will set you free… so consider giving the gift of truth in a loving way this season!

Best,
