Hvordan fandt du modet til at komme ud?

Oof, den er svær. Hvis du mener til mine forældre, så var jeg meget ung da jeg kom ud til dem, specifikt min mor. Dengang vidste jeg ikke at det var set som en negativ ting at være LGBTQ+ så det var meget let bare at sige til min mor “Hey, jeg syntes faktisk at min bedste veninde er virkelig sød på den romantiske måde.”

Hun reagerede... bedre end andre forældre. Hun sagde at det var fint og jeg kunne elske hvem jeg ville, men så efterfulgte hun det også med at jeg ikke ville kunne gifte mig med en pige fordi det var respektløst over for Jesus. (Tag det som du vil)

Da jeg kom ud til mine klassekammerater og alt sådan noget, havde jeg allerede bygget det op i mig selv at, selv hvis de ikke forstod, så var det sådan jeg var, og jeg vil hellere være ærlig over for mig selv end at lyve og lade som om jeg ikke er den jeg er.

Så for mig var det mindre det at finde modet til at komme ud, men mere at finde modet til at være hvem jeg er uden at sige undskyld. Jeg tror at hvis du kan gøre det, vil det måske være lidt lettere.

Og hvis hvem end du prøver at komme ud til ikke respektere hvem du er, om det så er dine forældre, dine venner, osv. så er de måske ikke værd at holde tæt. Jeg håber at det her hjælper dig, og jeg ønsker dig held og lykke med det hele!

Rhu.

me: i love Copenhagen, the atmosphere is always so nice and the city itself is so beautiful and full of great places

me, trying to fall asleep in inner city Copenhagen: i hate Copenhagen so much

i know danes are contemplating what the best unique danish word is, so i have a contester that might end the game: “pyt”. 

“pyt” is an exclamation that can also be used in versions of this sentence: “sig pyt til det”(”say pyt to that”) and it means to let go of something. the closest I can get to an english equivalent is saying “fuck that”, but "pyt” is not aggressive at all, but actually rather a childish term. “no harm done” is a phrase that also comes close, but doesn’t have the brevity of the single word “pyt”.

you say “pyt” when your kid drops their barbie in a puddle  and you pick it up, knowing there’s no harm done and you just have to make it clear to them that it’s fine and you’ll dry it off when you get home. you tell them: “pyt med det!”(”pyt to that!”)

in my family, we frequently use a lesser known variation that involves a made-up character named “pyt-mand”(”pyt-man”). “vi ringer bare til pyt-mand”(”we’ll just call pyt-man”) is another childish way of saying that you’ll let go of your worries by calling up a fictional man’s hotline so that he will tell you: “pyt!” and you’ll be magically free of your concerns.

did christine jorgensen not have any danish ancestry? wikipedia is unhelpful, but i just wonder since her parents both had very danish last names(jorgensen, more likely jørgensen in denmark, and hansen)
