Christy Lawrance

My mum told me she didn't think I was gay. She genuinely thought I was taking the piss. In fact, she was absolutely convinced my brother was. He liked hanging around with the girls creating dance routines. I loved sports and martial arts. She was wrong, obviously. Even when I started dating the first psycho on the way to eventually finding my happy ever after years later, she was still completely convinced it was a phase. I survived as I'm not a soft bastard. She loves my other half like her own son 28 years later, and I can categorically tell you, jailing my mum for five years wouldn't have benefited me, my brothers, or in society in anyway because she thought I was initially taking the piss, as I'd been doing at every opportunity since I was able to talk to her.
