you right thou...Hispanic and Asian families be like that
I am from the US. My family is very progressive, and has never once cared if anyone is gay. When my little sister said she got a girlfriend, that was it. That was her coming out. And my family’s reaction was “Cool, what’s her name?” When I said I was asexual, they didnt understand, but they still supported me.
I know I am incredibly blessed to have this life. But this blessing has also spoiled me. In reading things like this I often wonder “isn’t it terrible to live a lie? At least if it was out in the open, you could be free.” But that isn’t true, is it?
It is still incredibly dangerous for some people to come out. Reading this comment, especially, made me realize how naive my thinking has been. Because I am in a safe place, I thought others could get there too. But maybe they can’t. Maybe they might even hate me for my good life.
I can’t apologize for that. I can’t take the blame of other cultures. All I can say is that someone accepts you. Across an ocean or two, in a completely foreign country, there are people who support you, in whatever way you need
Saw someone say that comments saying being outed is the worst thing ever are old fashion like wtf y'all have no idea how scary being outed is especially when you're ASIAN
What a great life this person must have lived to have this kind of thinking
Being outed CAN GET YOU KILLED y'all have no idea how sheltered and lucky u are lgbtq+ people go through so much even mentally it's so hard
