"I definitely give credit to [my mom] for raising me in an environment that was incredibly open-minded and non-judgmental," Gomez wrote, recounting childhood memories of being surrounded by a group of her mother's friends whom she later realized were all gay. Gomez's mom surprised her on her sixteenth birthday by hiring "the most beautiful drag queen" to perform her favorite song, which is legit the best sweet sixteen gift we've ever heard of.
While she's inspired by "how far LGBTQ rights have come" in the full letter over at Billboard.
