But I'm going to deal with it, because I have something to tell you guys. I've been wanting to do this for a long time; I just felt like I couldn't. I felt like it was my fault. I needed to learn to love myself before I could expect other people to love me for that. Why am I ashamed of who I am? I'm not "passing" as anything, I'm "being." I'm about to tell my mom.

You may now kiss the bride. The grooms may kiss.
