i saw a couple posts about this but i want to reiterate the point that you dont have to have some dramatic coming out story. 

you dont have to have a “coming out story” at all.

i said to my mom “i think im transgender” in an american eagle dressing room after months of already trying to present as masc and expressing gender confusion. she bought me new jeans and we went home and i guess she told my dad.

i started going to an lgbt youth group shortly thereafter and the first time i attended i didnt have a new name picked so when they asked me i literally made one up on the spot. when my dad picked me up he saw the “hi my name is” sticker on my shirt and thats how my family was informed of my new name. the name i ultimately decided on and changed to legally i chose after some considerable thought, but i went by that name for a year and a half, and thats the name my parents still call me a lot as a nickname.

if you had the “mom, dad, i’m gay” talk and there were lots of tears and tissues that is your experience and by that fact alone it is an important story to tell. but stories that dont follow that formula and dont have some dramatic climax or make-or-break point are just as important and just as valid.

The road to self-acceptance and mustering up the courage to come out is already a tremendously intensive mental battle for most of us and ought to be recognized just as much.

[prideknights]

I think it’s important that we push the positive coming out narrative a bit more. There are many coming out stories that cause incredible fear, especially among youngsters in the LGBTQ+ community. Horrible coming out experiences are real and it is not my intention to shove positive experiences in the faces of people who have had negative experiences and make them feel bad about it. All experiences, bad ones, neutral ones, and good ones matter and will guide others in the coming-out story that they have yet to write. It is vital for the flourishing of gay souls all around the world that we bring a more balanced view on the coming out experience. You know the people best to who you wish to come out to and how they would most likely react. Here are some ‘positive’ coming out experiences:

I already knew my family is hella supportive of everything lgbtq. we were making fajitas (like the 4 of us crammed into our kitchen and chopping vegetables) and I blurted “hey so I’m bi” and my mum literally went “yeah we already had that figured out babe” and I almost cut myself in the finger

This very much made me smile

My coming out was a gay joke and my parents were like “Kayak please we know you’re fucking your best friend”. that’s it that’s the whole thing

I don't know why I post it but I really needed to share what Cassie posted on Instagram.

young alec lightwood realising he’s gay and gradually putting less effort into dodging during missions

young alec lightwood seeing demons’ claws and wondering if it’s worth it to avoid them

young alec lightwood being reprimanded for getting hurt and not being good enough at fighting

young alec lightwood using those lectures as an excuse to train for hours with unwrapped hands, shoot arrow after arrow until his knuckles bleed, keep his body moving when everything inside him aches for stillness

young alec lightwood taking the pain because this is what he deserves; this is his penance for the way he feels

young alec lightwood seeing no hope for a future where he’s happy and free

i know y’all talking shit about how alec’s bed is too small for his gigantic frame but tbh this just confirms alec is the little spoon because he obviously sleeps all curled up into himself otherwise he wouldn’t be able to sleep comfortably. and that is, of course, the Optimal Position for magnus bane to hold alec to his chest as they sleep, bracketing his entire body with his own.

[cockbarrens]

canon and real

alec lightwood loves sleeping on his side, curling his long legs up and pressing his face into his forearms. he loves the comfort of being curled into himself like that when he’s alone. but when magnus is there, pressed up against his back, an arm wrapped around his waist and fingertips slowly, methodically rubbing soothing circles into his stomach, it’s the most comforting thing he’s ever felt in his life. to be held like that, to be the little spoon, to feel the comforting radiating warmth of magnus’s body and to sink into sleep knowing that magnus is close.

and he loves waking up and gently rolling over, pressing his face into magnus’s neck and tangling their legs together, sinking fingers into magnus’s shirt and humming against his skin.

Magnus is, um… quite magical.

He’s, uh, very… very good at magic.
