The Possibilities of Pleasure: Why I Feel Like Getting High Tonight

Several weeks before she died, my mother and I had a conversation.

I was standing in her kitchen cooking dinner, which I burned because I was flustered. She was sitting in her wheelchair with a purple shawl around her shoulders. It was April, and there had been a chill in the house. I couldn’t remember how our conversation had begun that day, but since they all ended up at the same place, it didn’t matter.

“Give yourself some time to figure things out,” she begged. “How do you know what you want? You’re still a child in so many ways, Maxie. You shouldn’t give yourself a label until you are absolutely sure what it means. You'll regret it later. And you definitely shouldn’t run around telling the whole wide world about this thing.”

“I’m sure I’m gay, Mom,” I said.

strange title, because it doen't have anything to do with content. It seems that she doesn't want to belive that your gay because she is in denial about your sexuality. It is a comman shield for parents to say that, and if you belive your gay just using the term to discribe your self doen't mean you're labeling youself and if you don't hold back actions becuse of this gay "label" then their is nothing to regret.
