Fun Home : A Family Tragicomic  

     This is a story about a daughter and father, who are both confused about their sexual orientation and live with this confusion throughout their lives. They don't know how to handle this and they try to handle it the best way they can. It was a secret they kept to themselves and both came out, the daughter came out first so that gave the father strength to come out as well. This was a very hard decision for both of them because it can alter their lives drastically and can alter it in the worst way possible. They can lose family members or friends because they are not accepting of them anymore. It can be hard for anyone coming out in real life because many people believe we are not ready for same sex marriage or gay and lesbian couples. Others disagree and believe we are ready for this and we would be a better society if we just accept the fact that there are gay and lesbian people throughout the world. We need to understand that we cant choose who we want to be with and our sexual orientation is given to us during birth. We cant judge because of someones sexual orientation instead we should accept this and be kind to one another. It is better to let people live their own lives instead of letting others choose what they have to like and what they have to do in society. Everyone should feel comfortable with coming out and this should not be a stressful thing instead it should be a relief.
