Coming out to my conservative parents was not what I expected. From my frequent calls and texting, they figured I am a lesbian. They were shocked at first and then demanded me to stop having any additional contacts to my girlfriend; otherwise, I would lose their financial support.
In the past eighteen years, my parents had always been helicopters spiraling around me; however, my relationship and coming out made me understand it was time for me to step up and become independent. I wanted my parents to understand that lesbians are common individuals and I am responsible for my own identity.
At school, did everything a normal person would do – I joined the engineering club and also interned at various companies. At home, I wrote thank-you cards
