Parents Throw Daughter The Best Pride Party Ever After She Came Out To Them
81Kviews
coming out to your parents about your sexuality probably isn’t the easiest thing in the world, especially if you’re only 17 years old, and have a strong fear of rejection and homophobia. But for Kinsey Ratzman from New Jersey coming out of the closet about her sexual orientation turned out to be the most awesome experience ever. Why? Because her parents responded to the news by deciding to throw her a surprise “Pride Party!”
They told her that they were going to be having an early 4th July party, and then while she was at the mall with her cousin her sneaky parents got busy with the preparations. They covered the entire house with rainbow-themed decorations and they even made a bunch of rainbow-colored food. Her aunt even baked her a “vegan gay cake” because Kinsey is the only vegan in her family.
It’s been a pretty dark time for the gay community recently due to the devastating Pulse nightclub shootings in Florida, but Kinsey’s family could not have responded to their daughter’s sexuality in a more amazing way. If only everybody had parents like this!

Total acceptance of the human being who is their daughter. Awesome parents...
When my daughter came out I said, that's nice. I didn't and dont care. It's not an issue. Can you imagine celebrating someone's sexuality? No, I can't either. I long for the day when this doesn't have to be celebrated and no one cares. That's equality.
Good point. Let's hope that day comes. In the meantime, have a nice day Chritian!
I don't understand why its so important for express their sexuality in this day and age...who cares if you are gay or straight. I just don't see why people have to do this. as long as you are loved by your family and friends.....why do you have to make it so public about your sexuality.
Spoken like someone who's never had to hide their sexual identity because to openly express who they are would expose them to violence or rejection. Enjoy your privilege.
Nice straw man Christian.

You beclown yourself with the same type of judgmental attitude that you claim to abhor. People make choices, deal with it. Enjoy your first world problems
I agrre. Presenting to your family your girlfriend (if you're a girl) or your boyfriend (if you're a boy) should be as natural as presenting your girlfriend/boyfriend when you are straight. "Hey family, may I introduce the love of my life? Yes? Awesome, now let's go back to our lives." People make to much of a fuss about their sexuality. Live your life naturaly instead of making it such a big deal and people will be more accepting than if you look like a deer caught in the lights or if you make it the most important thing in your life.
What the hell are you talking about? "Love of the life"..??? He are some facts about gay relationships: Male sexuality, whether oriented toward females or other males, craves variety. But whereas almost all heterosexual men, perhaps after “sowing wild oats,” settle down with one woman, homosexual men do not settle down. Ever. A classic, large-scale study by Bell and Weinberg conducted during the 1970s and published by the Kinsey Institute found that forty-three percent (43%) of white male homosexuals had had sex with 500 or more partners, and twenty-eight percent (28%) had had sex with 1,000 or more partners. Seventy-nine percent (79%) said that more than half of their sexual partners had been strangers.[i]
Never claimed to be non-judgmental; I judge stupidity and cluelessness pretty harshly. It's my choice, deal with it. But I like your made-up word, though. I'll have to use "beclown" in some way soon. It's pretty awesome.
What you fail to realice is that homosexuals are hated and in same places hunted and puished (even killed) for their sexuality.. So it is a real big thing for these people to be able to muster up the curage to tell their loved ones (family) about their sexuality instead of living with hiding their true selfs.
many people are hated for many reasons, challenges build character or weed out the weak, welcome to evolution baby
I understand how you feel: it's a family matter, not a public matter, but many people aren't so cool about homosexuality, and with so many stories about parents being dicks about their son or daughter... well, telling the world that yours are ok with your choice seems ok with me. Have a nice day Brandon!
...and the beginning of your sentence "I don't understand..." pretty much says it all.
