so when i was a clumsy, awkward, closeted middle schooler i used to say i was “as straight as a ruler” when my sexuality was questioned.

at the end of middle school, i finally came out as bisexual to one of my friends and her response was to pull out one of those bendy rulers (you know the kind i’m talking about) and she started to bend it while smiling giddly and saying “i’ve been carrying around this ruler for two years waiting for you to come out”

and that’s my favorite response i’ve ever received when coming out.
