Dear, The Preacher’s Girl
First of all, I just want to say what an inspiration you are to me, because of you I finally have the courage to tell my parents that I am gay. The only problem is that I don’t exactly know what to say. I told my friends and they were very supportive but I fear that my parents may not be so open armed. Don’t get me wrong they are lovely, kind and understanding people, but I just have this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach whenever I think about telling them. Maybe it is just nerves, but I just want to ask you what should I do? How should I approach a situation that whenever I think of makes me feel sick?

Dear, #1 Quarterback
Thank you so much for emailing me and following my story, and I am very glad that I am an inspiration to you, I never imagined in my wildest dreams that I would inspire anyone but I am very glad that I have.
I was the same when I realised that I had to tell my parents that I like girls. I remember one-night pacing around my room for hours rehearsing what I would say to them, but then whenever I had the opportunity I would just freak out and feel all nauseous. I will say that it is very good that you have such supportive friends, that is something that I did not have, all I had was Alex and if your friends are half as supportive as she was then no matter what you are going to be just fine.
If your parents are truly as amazing as you make them sound, then no matter what you say I am sure they will still love you. But if I was you and I had the chance to come out the way I wanted to then I would first get my parents and sit them down in the living room (but don’t make it seem like someone just died, yes you are coming out but you are the same person so don’t make it seem like the talk is going to change anything.) Then I would say Mother, Father before I say anything I love you and I know you love me and nothing is going to change, and then just and then say I’m gay.
I hope this helped, and good luck.
Love, The Preacher’s Girl
