Eight Years from the Closet
Jan. 17th, 2011 07:04 amI've been thinking about what to put on here for my eighth anniversary from the closet. Normally I post some event from the past, but nothing specific has come to mind this year and I think that, in itself, is post-worthy.
No, I haven't lost my mind. Well, okay, that's subjective to some.
When I came out of the closet eight years ago this month, it was quite a personal event. Now I'm guessing I'm starting to mellow out a little bit on the idea of being out. Before it was something like a secret I was revealing to the world, allowing a little bit more of myself to be known to friends and family. It was exciting.
The road has been a good one, mostly full of acceptance with only an occasional disappointment. Am I out to everyone? No. Do I care if others find out? Not really.
Last night I drew this cartoon to describe a happy mood, a kilted cheerleader. Imagine an entire squad of them. If there were such squads, I'd watch sports happily.

Would you be one of them?

You are living out the "It gets better" creed.

Date: 2011-01-17 07:02 pm (UTC)3 cheerleaders from behind - the last one without panties...
I'd like a male version of that myself...
