I'm estranged from my mom's family, but I found out my cousin's kid is queer and now we email back and forth. Kid is in high school and I think it does him good to know he's not the only queer person in the family. His mom's decent, we just didn't have much of a relationship because my cousin's mom sucks so much.
Edit: and his mom knows we correspond, she's cool with it.
