Making a statement
May. 8th, 2002 08:53 amKelly's not coming to New York with me in June for my little brother's high school graduation. Last night, I asked my mother if it would be okay for her to come with me. Her response?
"I don't think it's an appropriate time to make a statement."
After much clarification and "I'm just concerned for the kids", it became apparent that that meant "no." I suppose I should cut her some slack, because she's only had 7 YEARS to get used to the possibility that I might someday wind up in a committed relationship with another woman.
I really should have followed through on the plan to have her trapped in an elevator with a dozen PFLAG members.
