Hey Anna I hope you're having a good day. I just read your story, well my friend gave me the link. I was surprised, to say the least. I have never met a gay person before and to my knowledge the first battle I thought would be self-acceptance which you did splendidly. Then the hurdles that you faced, and believe me when I reach to the point that your parents have accepted your choice, I was in "phew, relieved" situation and now you're telling your story here, tremendous. I admire your strength and courage.
