Imagine planning your coming out for months, only to have your mom steal your thunder with a simple ‘I know.’ That’s exactly what happened to a 16-year-old girl who finally mustered the courage to tell her mom she’s a lesbian. The mom’s response? She already knew, and she had the evidence to prove it! But the story doesn’t end there. The daughter’s reaction to her mom’s casual response took an emotional turn, leaving everyone questioning if the mom’s approach was the right one.
