My sister never be critical about my sexuality but rather admissive. She used to tell me, "It's the way you are."

However what's in her letter should be what she really feels. As a relative, my sister was gratefully accepted my sexuality and pretended not to see for me as long as I was living in the shadow. Certainly my sister and I have different way of thinking. Socially we have different standpoint.

But to be tolerated by family and relatives I should make my insistence sacrifice? I am homosexual but not criminal. Can't I live my on my conviction?

Being minority is something I should ashamed of? Majority's belief of which they are confident and sure is common practice or custom? Things that most people admit are all right?

To have one's own belief terrifies conservative people that much? I wonder if conservative people don't have their own idea being nervous about others.
I felt so sad.

Comprehending other's standpoint and seeing own problems are necessary to understand one another. Or there is no mutual understanding. I felt sorry for my own sister who would not allow such mutual concession.

I thought a lot before disclosing this letter from her.
It was hard because I truly understand her place and that she is not really discriminative person. I hesitated.

But I wanted my sister and all of you to know about difficulties and problems we homosexuals have to live in this world. It seems easy but is really difficult.

I realized a lot of things with the letter my sister sent me for the first time in my life.

I am grateful for my sister.
