I am a gay I came out from closet with my Uyghur boyfriend Chris to each other?s mother this year My boyfriend supported me and accompanied with me all the time when I came out and told the truth to my mom who raise me alone in a restaurant I support him as well when he told his mother My mom continues paying my school tuition and living expense, but she still refuses to talk with me I was lost, guilty, but I still decide to continue to be myself no matter how hard it will be We will still fight for ourselves no matter religion barrier, moral problems etc. My boyfriend?s family believes in Mohammedanism and my family believes in Buddhism. I have given many gay friends about my experience and advices, I am so proud of myself when I see they are not confused anymore or a little bit helpful for them I decide to study hard for getting a good job because I decide to taka advantage of my mom?s financial support (tuition and living expense) because I have to fight for my boyfriends, the entire LGBT community, and myself. I need to fight for my life which I want, my future and career because I represent one of LGBT community. I hope I can contribute to LGBT community one day. I study really hard and have a huge improvement after I came out from the closet and told my mom. I clearly know that if I do not fight for myself, no one would fight for me. So, a huge gpa improvement from 1.9 to 3.6
