Well, so yeah closets. And coming out.
We all know about the homosexual closet and the troubles that it makes for the people that have to do it. But there are other closets too, like a gamer closet or nerd closet or kink closet. And although different in parts there is the central part of coming out is admitting to yourself and other that you are different, sometimes even "perverted" and wwe are fine with it. We are different form the norm and enjoy it.
Recently I came out of the closet to my best friends, not the gay one though. But while talking to my partner we discussed how it is similar to that homosexuals have. Rejection form parts of society, even sometimes family, how media portrays our ideas and preferences as either sick, disgusting or abnormal, how we can't do all the things we want in public because they will judge us. But how happy we are of being ourselves and true to what we like and admitting that to ourselves is the best thing we could do, just be who we are. We can't be too public and only my closest friends know exactly but admitting to myself and others, specially her, what I am has made me feel far better and happier than before. And the people that I've toald although the make jokes about ti are perfectly fine and support me in my decision, and being such good friends I had no real problem telling them once I fully accepted myself.
So Escapists I guess than a few of you have gone though this process of coming out. Care to share? How did it change you? Were you accepted? And if you will what closet di you coma out form?
