In this episode, my dear friend Kevin, talks about how his Christian mother struggled to accept her son’s sexuality even though she deeply loved him, and he loved her.
Kevin’s mother always avoided the spotlight for most of her life, made a choice to learn sign language later in life, and loved working with the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community.
“I think in general, my mom never accepted her fabulousness. She kind of got lost being the middle child in a family of big personalities, then she got married and became a mom and her life became all about her family. She didn’t like the spotlight on her, and never thought anyone would be interested in her story.”
This is her story, told thru her son.
