Feb 2019

recently experienced this with her "in-laws", where her partner's daughter had not been accepting and my friend desperately wanted to be considered a grandma to her child, just as her partner was. The husband discovered that his wife had been unwelcoming and intervened, and now my friend is Gramma, too!

It can happen.

I have never announced my sexuality at my jobs but let people discover it as they got to know me. That was an approach that worked very well, but I am in a profession that is generally accepting of diversity.
