One of my proudest moment is when a friend of mine trusted me with coming out that he was gay. For many of you may be it is not a big deal and this is how it should be (even if I’m not a big fan of shoulds, in this case it is highly appropriate).
The thing is it happened over 25 years ago and it happened in Russia, not only a very conservative culture back then but also where being gay was a criminal offence! It is still punished and suppressed over there!
Since then I made more wonderful connections with LGBTI+ community and have dear friends and clients with whom we sat down and talked about options, fears, sense of freedom to be oneself!!!
Recently when talking to my child about same s*x marriages, I was touched to tears to hear: “Love is love. What’s the big deal, mom?”
Not a big deal, honey, EVERYONE has a right to be who they are, explore who they want to be and experience love and acceptance!!! You are absolutely right!!! I am so glad that for you it is absolutely normal!!!
Love, Nadia
