Anonymous asked: i think im gay
Hey, honey, I know it can be scary to suddenly have your self-image change as drastically as something like this can. So first, take a deep breath and let it out. You’re the same person you were yesterday, a week ago, a year ago, you’re just learning something new about yourself. Discovering stuff like this isn’t about adding stuff you didn’t have before, it’s like pulling something out of the attic and dusting it off. It was always there, you’re just ready to look at it now.
Second of all, congratulations, honey! Not on being gay, although my queer ass welcomes you to the party. But it’s hard to acknowledge something like this, even to yourself, and I’m so, so proud of you for being that strong. I’m honored that you told me, that you felt like you could tell me, and I hope I live up to that honor.
And third of all: it’s okay. It’s okay to be gay, honey. I don’t know what your situation looks like, but I want that to be clear. This is a part of you, a part of your heart, and it’s okay. If you find that you’re bi, that you’re pan, that you’re just figuring shit out, that’s okay too. If anybody gives you shit for this, I’ll punch them in the fucking face for you.
And finally, honey:
There are always going to be people who want you to be ashamed of who you love, the color of your skin, the shape of your body, the quirks of your mind. And fuck them, honey. Fuck them, straight to hell.
I love ya, honey. I hope this was a little helpful for you.
