I came out to my best friend today after watching Love Simon for an entire week (to be prepared), and her reaction was so beautiful. I can’t believe i finally did it and I’m very happy right now. I just wanna you to know.

Everyone deserves a great love story!

A year ago today...

I came out to my best friend on my birthday by taking her to see Love, Simon and started this crazy journey that is truly accepting who you are. 12 months later so much has changed, and I couldn't be happier.

I met an amazing man at my first trip to gay bar in Austin on Halloween...

Went on an official date with him the next weekend...

Called him my boyfriend when he came to visit me a month later...

Went to Disney World with him in January...

Traveled across the country to see him in February...

And coming full circle I spent this birthday with this same kind, thoughtful, understanding, and (I have to say it) sexy man when he surprised me by flying out to see me.

I also matched into my top choice for my residency in Emergency Medicine, and I've made so many amazing memories with friends that I will have for the rest of my life.

If someone had told me a year ago that this is where I would be in life I would never have believed them.

I couldn't ask for more amazing friends, a more understanding family... And it's all so much better now that I have someone to share it with 😊

Okay but one thing Love, Simon did really well was like... be realistic... about why some people... stay in the closet?? When it “seems” like there’s no reason to?? Like sometimes your dad makes a distasteful comment about someone being gay, and you just sink a little. Or sometimes you think it’s something that will just go away with time. Or think I shouldn’t have to come out! Or sometimes you realize that there’s no hard cord reason and you’re just like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

so not many of you know this but I never did a big coming out because I just didn’t so I’ve never discussed my sexuality with my parents or explicitly said I’m not straight but I asked my mom yesterday if she wanted to see Love, Simon and she asked if I would like her to see it with me and I got this feeling that there was understanding there and that me asking meant a lot to her but anyway we went today and after we got home she came to my room and she asked me how long I’ve known I’m not straight and what I identify as and how it all makes me feel and if my friends are supportive and various relationships I’ve had and to let me know that she loves me always and I feel so free and happy

I want to come out, properly.

So i just saw Love, Simon. And i want to come out fully, and properly. I want to be honest with myself and the world. Because it’s hard.

I am gay.

I’m queer in every way. But it’s much more specific than that. I am coming out like this- for real.

I AM GAY. You could technically say Pansexual but that’s not quite right.

I AM GENDERQUEER. Yeah, i know a lot of people don’t fully “get it” or think it’s complicated or whatever, but the fact of the matter is that I identify as different genders at different times.

Sometimes i idenitfy as male.

Sometimes I identify as neutral.

Sometimes I identify as neutral- but feminine.

And heres the thing about coming out. I want everyone to know 100% who I am.

I am gay. When I identify as male, my attraction is to guys. Boys. Other male idenified people.

So when i’m male, i’m attracted to males. I am gay.

I am gay. When i identify as neutral, i am attracted to i guess you could say anyone, regardless of gender, but sometimes i’m not sure if i’m attracted to anyone at all.

I am gay. When i feel more feminine, i’m attracted to girls. Women. Female-identified people. Sometimes i call myself a lesbian then. But that’s only half of it.

I am gay. No matter my gender. I am queer, and i am proud. And i am braver now than i have ever been. And god, am i fucking happy about it.

And goddamit i hope i find love who understands me, and loves me, and is gay and proud right along with me.

And i hope you all find your love too, whether it’s a person, or books, or a song, whatever you’re looking for, i hope it comes to you.

Love, Dane.

Spoiler Warning

So I saw Love, Simon last night and I didn't cry throughout most of the movie. There were places where I almost cried but I didn't, until I saw Simon and Bram kiss for the first time. I started crying and I couldn't stop even after I left. The whole movie was about a teenager like me but it didn't feel real till they kissed. It was the first time I've ever seen a gay couple kiss on the big screen and I really hope it won't be the last.

My gay (bisexual) $$$ is still crying over love, Simon

I saw it a week and a half ago and I’ve cried at least once a day about it
