According to 17-year-old Kinsey Ratzman came out to her parents as gay after they asked her. The ensuing conversation was supportive, if not awkward. But then again, talking with your parents about boys or girls when you’re 17 can be awkward no matter what the circumstance. However, Kinsey’s parents support gave her the confidence to come out to her other, extended family and friends, via social media.
She wrote on Instagram: "A year ago today I found out that I'd be able to marry the love of my life in my own country... I was a very happy pup. #lovewins (& oh yeah btw I'm gay and this is me coming out yikes)."
It was nice enough. A couple of days ago, Kinsey’s parents turned their love and support up a notch.
Then, last Saturday, Kinsey's parents told her they'd be having an early Fourth of July party. They sent Kinsey to the mall with her cousin, and when the two returned, Kinsey walked into a house covered in rainbows, complete with a rainbow-colored food spread.
Her parents had thrown her a surprise coming-out party.
