Nice little piece but I will say again: It's okay if you're selectively out, if you're out, if you're never going to come out, if you cannot be out. It takes courage to come out, yes. But you are not bad and it is not a sin not to be out. In Judaism we put our own health before anything. And I personally interpret that as mental, physical, financial, emotional, and psychological health comes before anything. If coming out puts you in danger, or does bad things to any part of your health (mentioned above or no) Judaism says you do not have to do it. In fact, it recommends that you don't. Remember: your health>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>anything else. Love y'all, stay safe out there.

I know it's a bit pricey, but one of my Jewish queer friends linked me to this and I love this :)

So I found this link awhile ago, and it’s really cool! Their business is called Bindle and Keep, and HBO made a documentary about them called Suited. If you go to their website, there’s a link there to their documentary!

Their mission is to make suits for all bodies- even queer and trans* bodies! What a mitzvah.
