My mom called. She said they read the email and she said that they love me and that nothing has changed about how they feel.
I'm so very glad that I did this. A huge weight is gone.

Hopefully one day I will get a similar reaction from the rest of my family.

Good morning, everyone.

I still need to keep it from a few members of my family. My choice, but my parents understand why I would want to. My sister honestly hates that I exist. If I were to go to any family functions there would be some serious problems. She's not happy that I call her out on raising her kids to be racists (they are all over 18 now). She's not happy that I call them out on being racists. She's not happy that I don't put up with her stupid conspiracy theories. I just have no place for that in my life from anyone.
If I were to show up like this, she would start a fight and then my family would have to make a choice and they would be practical. She lives 15 minutes away from them and I live almost 2 hours away. She would be told to leave. Then she would think that they took my side when they really didn't want to take any sides.

Congratulations on being so brave and reaching out to your parents Cindy, I'm glad that things went okay for you. Sorry to hear that the rest of your family might not be so understanding if you told them.
It's good you have the support of your folks at least.

Cindy, favorite is in support of you, not in support of wayward thinking.

I knew that my sister would not be accepting long ago. To be honest, I don't think that she is accepting that I'm even alive so her opinion means very little to me. I don't see my aunt very often so her opinion also means very little.
My concern is always about how family get togethers will be. I just want to enjoy time with family and not get into fights about superficial things.

Now if anyone wants or needs an extra-fluffy bear hug I'm here.
New to the threads. Has anyone experienced problems on pbp identifying as LGBTQ? I'm curious if it hurt their recruitment.Or did anyone receive hostility for it?

I've never actually included my LGBTQ-iness in the recruitment threads for PbP, and actually lately I've been playing with a group from this very thread, so I'd have to admit it's helped my recruitment.
Paizo's got a dedicated insistence on inclusivity, and that spreads to their player base as well.
I haven't had issues in PbP, but I have had some issues with misgendering of characters in 'meatspace' play.
That being said, GMs in question were having other issues of respect in general.

I run into that problem often, but it's because I see the player and I don't always remember their character's gender. This is one reason why my characters are always male. I usually present as male and it's just easier on everyone.
That being said, the vast majority of the time it doesn't matter what gender the character is in my campaigns. There are sometimes when it might matter, but not often.

Thanks everyone. I was curious because other players or GMs could track my posts and figure it out. I come here to escape reality and was hoping for it to be a non-issue.

I actually tend to get more pissed when people misgender npcs when I am gming in meatspace have not run into many pbp problems here.
In case anyone is curious, This is how my Monday evening went.

I will get you an iron man suit that is eternally holding/stroking a cat.
I don't need the cat. Just the suit.

I only accept Black Panther's catsuit. Any thing else is just unnecessary.

Today is Father’s Day and, like Mother’s Day, while to some this is a happy day to others this might not be such a bright day. So to everyone, stay safe and take care, I love y’all and hope you have a good day today.
