Coming Out About Coming Out, by Essin’ Em, now that’s what I’m talking about. She speaks about coming out as a sexual minority and speaks to the underlying issue of us others, outsiders, and minorities having to justify our sexuality to others. Among other things.
This is exactly what I was talking about in my post about in an earlier post for National Coming Out Day
At Sex 2.0 last year, Sarah Dopp said something about not all people (I think specifically queers, but also talking about kinksters, etc) want to wave their flag high, and they shouldn’t be made to out themselves, or even stand up and be counted. Not everyone is for a cause — some people just wanted to be who they are and not have to fight the battle everyday.
For many reasons I don’t care to advertise many things about myself. I won’t deny it if people ask, but my family doesn’t even know I’m gay or a sex worker. I struggle enough as it is.
