    Author Notes:

    Tina tells her family that she is gay.


    Tina

    “I’m leaving early tomorrow morning so I can spend most of Saturday with them. I’m picking up Lainey on the way,” Tina told Bette.

    Tina was going to visit her parents in northern California and was going to be joined by Lainey, Elaine, her younger sister. More important, Tina was going to tell her parents that she was *****. And that she was living with a woman she was in love with.

    Saying she was ***** was going to be tough enough, but telling them she was living with Bette was going to make it more difficult for them. If she were not living with anyone, they could pretend and hope that her gayness was a phase, an LA kind of thing, that she would get over. But the specter of a full-time lover wasn’t going to be easy for them. She hoped they could accept the relationship.

    She wouldn’t tell them about the commitment ceremony at first. If they seemed accepting, she would mention it.

    ————————-

    Bette

    Bette was worried about Tina. It was hard to have parents who didn’t approve of their lifestyle. Her father had been shocked and disappointed when she had told him, as a college student, that she was *****. He had had all the usual anti-***** arguments and Bette had remained mostly silent, refusing to argue with him. But she didn’t agree with him, either.

    Bette hadn’t really thought that her father would approve, but a tiny part of her had hoped. It was the same tiny part that hoped, and would always hope, that she would eventually have his unconditional love and approval.

    In his younger years Melvin Porter had been a great civil rights activist for black rights. And one of the true ironies was that he saw absolutely no connection between civil rights for people of color and civil rights for *****. “It’s not the same thing,” he had informed her. “I didn’t chose to be black.” Bette knew she hadn’t chosen to be *****, but she also knew there was no point in discussing it.

    It was the first time in her life that she had not knuckled under to what he wanted on something really serious. But she knew what she wanted. She was only nineteen and she knew. And she wouldn’t pretend to be something she wasn’t, even for him.

    2. DAMN HOMOPHOBIC BASTARDS!!!!!That’s alright cuz u’ve got ur sista, yo woman and nothing else even matters. keep on chugging through the world with them and u’ll be fine. please post soon. PEACE.

    4. Pancha,AW girl that was so soft and tender after all of that heartache, Tina just want Bette to love and comfort her while Bette was anxious that Tina was panning her escape from this remarkable relationship.Crossed wires or what!And all this after the light and fluffiness of the previous chapter. I did laugh heartily at Tina’s money saving actions and more so at Bette’s reactions to them.And it was a jaw stopping moment when Tina admitted that she had bought Bette the painting.This installment was delightfully built up and then heartbreakingly traumatic as Lainey finally opened her eyes and saw the love between her sister and Bette. Topped by the rebuke of her parents as Tina’s heart broke a little and was mended by her lover; her life; Bette.I did get misty eyed reading this part and this is due to you and your fabulous fiction. You conveyed and demonstrated the fears and depths of emotions that these characters are experiencing and made them totally believable.Written wondrously form the heart and soul.Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to share this with me.Your Loyal Fan.

    6. hehe, I know finally Tina will tell Bette to make love to her. It’s desperate, but you can do nothing to change it when it’s your parents who are disapproval your lifestyle. You can only choose obedience or escape.

    7. that was fucking sad..parents are important but if they can support her own flesh and blood than Tina have to move on and try to be happy with someone that loves her beyond words..im glad Tina have someone like Bette in her life and vice versa..i hope in their path will never cross a Candass to mess…cant wait for more thanks

    9. It was sad, tender,beautigul and tender..I will agree, in our state we have more Bigots than cattle. Most of all a big bunch of assholes. . .Lpve that Lainey left with Tina. and Bette was there to pick up the pieces. Withher love and understanding. THANK

    12. My heart is breaking for Tina, and for Bette. Whenever two people can find each other and love each other we should celebrate. There should always be ‘A Time to Love’ (thank you, Stevie). Thanks Pancha. You’re like buttah, girl!

    13. HEY EVERYBODY! IF YOU LOVE THIS FIC AS MUCH AS I DO, PLEASE JOINE ME IN CONTRIBUTING TO THE SITE! DO PAYPAL – IT’S QUICK, IT’S PAINLESS, FOR THE COST OF A COUPLE LATTES PER MONTH, WE CAN CALL KEEP READING FABULOUS FAN FICTION LIKE PANCHA’S! Thanks!

    15. wonderful chapter it was so sad and so exactly how so many families react right down to Lainey not approveing but at least accecpting…ive just read your last chapter and left my longwinded comment there… enjoyed both chapters very much… so is the next one NC17??? ok only asking..lol

    16. fergz – you know my thoughts.this was wonderfully written. i havent done the parent thing yet. but im so looking forward to that. *sigh* it will be quite alot like what will happen in your story. oh well to be so sad for them. thanks YES EVERYBODY MAKE A CONTRIBUTION!!!

    18. Oh wow! Excuse me while I pick my jaw off the floor. There are those who say that blood is thicker than water, that the familial ties are the ties that bind. I say water is clearer than blood (I love my parents, and I am not dissing them here. Just saying, in general). Friends and lovers who see us as we are tend to be more unconditional in their understanding, acceptance and expectations of us. Well, that’s not an absolute universal truth, but for me, it’s one of the few things that makes life worth living. Amazing chapter as always, Pancha. Cheers!

    19. Why you have to choose between your family and your lover is beyond me. Sad chapter but well written. Thanks a bunch pancha and your last chapter kicked ass.

    20. Pancha that was wonderful, a little sad but Tina does have Bette and her love to help her through the rough patches. Parents sometimes act like that but they should realize that to have their daughter’s love is more important than worrying about who she loves and sleeps with. No one on this earth is that saintly. Thanks for the post.

    23. That was a deep chapter,had to be written and u did it very well. Now for the sake of my heart and sanity, send the to a softball game. Just kiddin. Thanks again for takin the time.

    26. Serious chapter indeed, telling the parents is always the hardest part… hope Tina will recover soon and move on to happier times, at least she has her sister by her side.

    30. “Make love to me, Bette.”“Are you sure you want to? You look so sad.”“I want you to touch me and take the sadness away.”How heart wrenching, devastating, and truely beautiful way to get thru it…
