I’m very happy for you. Stories like yours helped motivate me to do similar. I’ve semi-recently come out to a few friends of mine that I’m bi / pan, but still only have one foot outside the closet. I did it for no particular reason other than to see what it felt like to be open about it for once. I’m glad I did. It felt like taking a gasp of fresh air after holding my breath for far too long. While it wasn’t a life changing moment for me like it has been for others, self-acceptance has dramatically eased my emotional stress, and I hope we can encourage more to do the same.

You’re 100% right to be baffled. Where I live we’ve seen extreme push back against the concept. The anti-vaxxers from the pandemic have latched onto the message in my area, and are saying that it will create ghetto’s where it makes governments more able to enforce lock downs and restrict our freedoms. I don’t see how they connected those dots together. It’s actually crazy.
