something people don’t talk about is soft coming out? like over the past 3 years I have gradually cared less and less about keeping everything a secret.
sometimes you accidentally knock the trans flag out of your literal closet and it dramatically flies to the ground in front of your brother. and u just shrug. sometimes you start lying with such little effort that your mom sighs and tells you how much you suck at it.

seeing the casual platonic physical affection the queer eye cast expresses is healing tbh. physical affection between lgbt people is so important…so many of us are lonely and touch starved and have complexes about seeming predatory if we so much as shake hands with a member of the same gender. and that stuff can’t just be fixed within romantic relationships.
Having separate flags is good bcos it’s good to have a symbol for your particular identity to embrace but it also important to remember the rainbow flag unites us all. All LGBT+ people can use it. I feel like it’s somehow become assumed by a lot of younger lgbt+ people that it’s only fr gay men, which it isn’t and never has been
