“It wasn't just coming out because I knew that was coming" Helena's Sister Shares Her Coming out Story #BouncePride

Helena came to Edmonton with her two cats (Hot Dog and Hamburger) and her right arm, her lady friend Natalie!

Originally from Nova Scotia this witty, wise diva, with a heart of gold keeps the Chalut Show on track. Pushing the buttons and making people laugh out loud because  …..she just says it – NO FILTER!

So where did she come from? What is her story? The Schaper family is calm, cool and very accepting….but no matter how cool  – Helena being human – was afraid to say who she really was. Helena was afraid to say she was gay!

Meet Trisha – Helena’s older sister –  Trisha speaks of a 5 year old Helena’s obsession with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and a need to have a brush cut. Gay no??? Can’t judge a book by it’s cover …… But brush cut?? Really Helena??

“It wasn’t just coming out because I knew that was coming … it was about the pain you had to go through to finally be who are to finally come out … as Helena, the lesbian.” 

Trisha shares a planned outing to a gay bar and a warm heart to heart over a bottle of wine and checking out chicks. That’s a cool sister!

Helena we adore the  person that you you are! You are one of a kind and we are happy that the pain is gone and you have long beautiful thick hair now!
