(in which members of the lgbtq community speak out about why they’re not open about their sexuality with their families.)

Shari Heck, 2014.

The notions that LGBT people MUST be out or else they don’t respect themselves, or they’re harboring internalized homophobia, or they’re not being TRUE to themselves are SO harmful and SO problematic because there are people like this in situations where the choice between staying in the closet and coming out is often the choice between safety and very real danger.
