I came across this recently and thought it was a super interesting and thorough examination of “the closet” or “coming out” of it.

    Most of my relatives found out not because I told them but because another relative saw my tinder profile and then they proceeded to tell everyone who would listen

    A lot of people were blocked that day

    Finding your family is hard, but having found family is worth all the effort

    I personally wouldn’t have told a lot of my relatives to be perfectly honest but the past is the past and once the secret was out I wasn’t going to deny it because seeing how poorly they reacted made me realize that I was better off and was going to be happier without having that fear hanging over my head
