"Real L-Word" Girls Come Out
Rose Garcia, 35
"My coming out story was a great one," says Rose Garcia, a real estate broker. "When I was 19 I confided in my best friend. She told me she always knew. I wanted to tell my mother but feared my Puerto Rican Catholic family would disown me."
"My friend called my mother to 'out' me, she says." To my surprise my mother said she had a feeling (that I was a lesbian). She said I had her full support and that if anyone in the family didn't, it was their loss."
