I remember telling my godmother, who I consider almost like my mom, [that I am queer]. She told me that it was my choice, and it was not really the way I was, and I was choosing the devil and stuff. And I think because of her reaction, I felt like, "Oh my god, what if my mom disowns me? What if she is disappointed? What if she finds out?"
