so when i was a clumsy, awkward, closeted middle schooler i used to say i was âas straight as a rulerâ 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 iâm talking about) and she started to bend it while smiling giddly and saying âiâve been carrying around this ruler for two years waiting for you to come outâ
and thatâs my favorite response iâve ever received when coming out.
