I hate having to be closeted. I’ve said this before. I got really used to being open and out about ten years ago after having being in the closet being the cultural default twenty years ago.
And now I’m thinking maybe we’re heading back towards the closet. For a little while at least. After the 1920s came the 30s and 40s but after them came the 70s, 80s, 90s and we just got to get through and come out the other side.
I hate being closeted but I will not feel ashamed for stepping into the closet and closing the door when I need to. Right now some of us need to and that’s how we survive.
