Barty Trabaca comes out to his parents… And I was there when the letter arrived…

And just to show that good things happen as well, and that being an unruly poof isn’t entirely about stropping around the place causing fights – Bart from Trabaca has had the best news. He decided to come out to his parents by sending them a letter. He’s been agonising about it on his site for months and he’s been absolutely terrified about their reaction, but in the end he sent a letter and yesterday received a reply from his father saying that they were still best friends and that they’re keen to come and visit him over the weekend and make sure he’s ok. Which is totally, perfectly the best possible thing they could have done. They understood what a big deal it was to him, and completely want to make him feel connected and loved. Bloody genius people.

I was online and chatting to Bart when the letter arrived, and he got a bit freaked so I rang him up (in New York) and we chatted. It was so nice hearing how happy and relieved he was. Good on you, old chap. You’ve earned your spurs, you’re in the union, you’ve got your license to practise…
