Homophobia is so present in society but yet homophobes believe the gay agenda is real I think about the amount of celebrities who choose to not disclose their sexuality until they are married or further into the future and I understand wanting privacy but I also feel like society’s internalized homophobia plays a part
I really enjoyed watching rocket man the Elton John biopic and for some reason I feel like a lot of celebrities feel like they need to shield their sexuality to allow their career to become as big as possible it really makes me uncomfortable
As a closeted woman I feel like I understand it the most my parents would not be happy to learn that I am not a straight woman even though I know they have speculations that I am not I have family friends, family who constantly exhibit homophobic behaviors but yet I wonder why these celebrities are in the closet? I understand fully who wants to be scrutinized for whom they love?
I think seeing Elton John fall apart because of a multitude of things unresolved childhood trauma, sexuality, and his level of stardom was so hard it makes me wonder how all of these celebrities who hide their sexuality feel and how that impacts ones brain
I get so happy when I see people announce their love life to the world after being so private, Candace Parker, Kal Penn, Jojo Siwa, etc. Its such a breath of fresh air and it makes me feel more excited to eventually live my truth as well
No one talks about the ins and outs of being closeted I have so many embarrassing stories of myself I have needed my wisdom teeth out for like almost 5 years now but I was too afraid to go under laughing gas and potentially out myself to my parents
Ive felt like my whole life I truly couldn’t live my life as an unlabeled adult until I was fully released of my familys financial control and blah blah blah that sounds so stupid and priveleged but it is also scary I needed their help for a long time and they still pay for a lot of my resources but I wonder if they knew the truth if they would continue to do so…
My situation is nothing in comparison to others coming out stories, one because I havent come out and two because it can be a lot more difficult and dramatic including conversion therapy, homlessness and more
Homophobic people love to believe in the gay agenda and how its making so many people gay or whatever but what about these adults are they so impressionable they fell for your made up agenda that causes people to die without truly expressing love for who they love?
I do believe sometimes homophobia stems for a lack of self acceptance but I think saying that diminishes their impact on others in the community and it allows people to get away with homophobia with the idea that they will come out and retract their homophobia and the people they harmed
And again as a former villain I feel like I did this to a lot of people and ruined their coming out stories or played a negative part in it and it makes me feel like I deserve the coming out or lack of coming out story I have now
I hope that one day we will truly live in a world where people don’t have to feel about being excommunicated from their families because of their sexuality and that we will all be comfortable loving who we love rereading this is so sad because it sounds like it could have been written decades ago
