As an older queer, allow me to say: the walls of the closet are load-bearing. It is our job as a community to stand in front of that door and tell everyone who wants to peek inside to fuck off.

There are so many reasons a person may choose not to come out and there is no reason a person would owe the public or a stranger that information. Certainly it's not owed simply because someone is famous.

We have fought for decades to make it safer for people to be open and authentic about themselves, but we are not yet there. And even if we were, the closet would still be something we need to maintain for those who are not ready to reveal that part of themselves.

May we never become so obsessed with representation that we forget the sanctity of privacy.

I can't wait for the Larry biopic that comes out in forty years.

Harry on SNL

uhoh-but-yeah-alright

Yeah ok I mean I obviously can never know whether Harry wrote The Waiting Game about being closeted, but if someone were to sit down to write a song about being closeted, it sure could sound like that.
