Coming to terms with who you are, that day when you figure
out who, and how you love and now you want to tell the world, or at least
someone close to you. Now you can come out and it is a beautiful thing, even if
it was not well received it can still be the most freeing experience that a
person can go through. I am thankful for the fact that in 2015 coming out is
beautiful, not disgusting. One’s sexuality is something to take pride in, not
be ashamed of.
I am
thankful that coming out can no longer get you thrown into an asylum, or jail.
There are no more morals charges, and slowly, but surely the sodomy laws in
this country are being repealed. I am thankful that being LGBT is becoming more
and more accepted in this world. Yes, there are places where being LGBT will
never be accepted, but there are more places where it is accepted.
I also
thankful that you can come out in any way that you choose, including not coming
out at all, I’m looking at you K-Stew, or in my case, I chose to not make a big
deal of it, and only answer the question when I am asked, but I am thankful
that I don’t have to live in fear of someone outing me. I know that is not true
in all part of the world, but I know that the world isn’t perfect yet, and
there are still some bad things that can keep a person from coming out, but I
am still thankful that coming out is a beautiful thing. For the joys of coming out take a listen to this.
