Zoom Call Plot Twist: Cousin’s Coming Out Moment Overshadowed
In a surprising turn of events, our protagonist’s cousin’s heartfelt coming out moment was overshadowed by the family’s awkward reaction to her ‘gay sheep’ joke. The cousin later expressed her frustration, feeling that her emotional experience was taken away. Our protagonist, who had a more low-key coming out, began to wonder if they should have been more open about their own experiences. However, after some reflection, they’ve decided to stop blaming themselves and plan to reach out to their cousin to offer support. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
