I'm just over 2 weeks away from my annual trek home to the Caribbean. As always just before my trip I start thinking about whether I should use this as an opportunity to come out to my family or more specifically my mom.
I then remember that I'm going home for my sister's wedding and any such announcement would instantly overshadow (and knowing my family probably spoil) her special day/week.
As such, it's probably inapproptiate the same way that it's not recommended to do these things around national holidays such as Christmas. In theory however, times like these are perfect since everyone will be around and you can do it en masse.
Granted, given that this is my sister's wedding, there will be inevitable questions posed about whether I'll be next to tie the knot. My mom will most definitely ask me once again if I have a girlfriend and I will once again need to deflect.
I'll have to do this thing on my own terms (and preferably on my own turf here in the USA). So maybe when my mom comes to visit next year I'll have an announcement for her.
Regardless, I'm looking forward to kicking back, with some sand between my toes, the sun on my face and the beach in the distance. Not to mention some partying.

I've told my family I don't need to get married to have kids and that shut them up.
