Like other girls her age, Xiaoyu got married with a man. Her parents were content with their son-in-law until one day a phone call disturbed the peace.

"Dear Xiaoyu's mom, please let me free, your daughter's lesbian and our marriage is just a show."

Xiaoyu's mother was stricken numb and Xiaoyu's father has since been confined to bed by the heart-attack inflicted by the news.

Xiaoyu recognized her sexual orientation long before the marriage, but like many other homosexual people, she chose to conceal it and married a gay man. It didn't take long before the partner of her "husband" started to protest against the marriage, and the "son-in-law" had no choice but to tell Xiaoyu's mom the truth.

After the skeleton's let out of the closet, Xiaoyu confided to her mother things that she hadn't been able to talk about for years.

"I know I'll try to accept this," her mom said. "It just takes time."
