What a blessed Sunday! · 10:23am May 10th, 2020
Today, I finally told my mom about me identifying as a non-binary and asexual person. Minutes before that, she asked what I did this afternoon and I told her I attended a Zoom community conference for Open Table Metropolitan Community Church, a church that has a special ministry for LGBTQ+ people.
I explained that MCC has congregations in different countries, as well as the meaning of the terms non-binary and asexual. The church welcomes and accepts LGBTQ+ people as they believe that God designed them and loves them for who they are. She understood all that and accepted me wholeheartedly.
She told me that if that's what makes me happy, she'll support me all the way and she's totally fine with me to live my own life without having a significant other, getting married, and having kids because not everyone can afford these things in today's climate.
Happy Mothers' Day to her and to all the moms out there. ❤❤❤
Congratulations! It's a blessing and a fortunate thing that your mother has accepted your asexuality. Also, happy mother's day!

And of all the people in the world that you want to accept you, it is your family. Others may shun you but so long as you can run to the embrace of those who are most important, knowing there will always be an open door for you, that means almost certainly you will be able to make it through the trials of the world

I told my sisters last year and they're neutral about it as they're mainstream Christians. They said they won't judge me, which is what I needed to hear at the very least. My dad is the only one left who doesn't know this and I will tell him when the time feels right.

well feeling neutral is a pretty good response. It means they don't care that much and they accept you.
I hope it goes well with your father, although I will say, a slight concern I see as a possibility, is that he may put you to the question as of why he was the last to be told of this.

My dad lives in a different home because he's taking care of his first family. I was born out of wedlock and I only get to see him physically twice or three times a year during dinner outings, so we don't know each other personally. He calls everyday to check on me and my mom and that's just it.

Oh I see. Sounds like less than desirable circumstances for a proper father and child relationship.
