    "Parenting her and thinking about teaching through living my values really brought me to my 2nd coming out. It is important to me to live an authentic life - for myself and as a parent"

    ^Absolutely. I relate to this sense of true identity so very much. I was so concerned about providing a white picket fence that I missed the heart of the message entirely. Coming to that realization made it easier to come out to friends and family a second time.

    I moved a lot as a kid as well. While it does take it's toll while you're experiencing it--it generally leads to great people and adaptation skills as an adult. I wouldn't worry too much. High school is just a blip in your timeline.

    Wow! Two gay parents? Did you know of each other before you were married??

    Thanks all!
