<p>I want to write about the evolution of my relationship with my mother following her coming out to me, and me alone (she isn’t comfortable sharing it with the rest of our family for fear of being persecuted by her father, my grandfather, who has been a pastor and devout christian since before they immigrated from Cuba in the 70s) as a lesbian this past summer.</p>
<p>I’m worried that since I’ve never had a homosexual family member or friend to normalize this for me that this may seem more impacting than it really is and that it may possibly be not worth writing. </p>
<p>Does this seem like a good enough topic to focus my Common App essay around?</p>
<p>Thank you :)</p>
