Hey, so I usually don't listen to voiceposts because when I was in DC, I had bad internet from home and my workplace firewalled all voiceposts, so I never got into the habit of it. But yow, your voice reminds me of an ex's, Bl. And your relationship with Kali seems like my relationship with yet another ex, F (with you being the analogue of my ex). And no, this is not me trying to hit on you. Just wanted to respond that when I came out to my parents (not in an "I'm bi" kind of way but an "and this is my girlfriend" kind of way, like you), they were in denial of it for a long time. In fact, they managed to remain in denial for the extent of the whole relationship with F (two years). And now that I'm dating a guy, they've managed to "forget" all of it. Don't discount the power of denial. (Though in my case, the culture barrier might have made the situation even more confusing to them, who knows.)
Denial is seeming more plausible. Which, truly, is pissing me off, even as I should view it as a repreive -- but at the same time, I feel like it has the potential to force me, over and over, to choose whether I am a coward or not.

It does. And it sucks. I had to keep reminding my parents over and over and I still had very little indication that any of it sunk in. (Except for a few times when my parents would point out that actresses I had crushes on were on some movie on TV or something). Sorry you're going through this.
