#2: And…?
One of the hardest things about coming out is having to tell your loved ones something so intimate about yourself without knowing how they’re going to react. It almost seems unfair that straight people don’t have to announce their identity at all, but if you aren’t straight then you have a big responsibility.
To be honest, the whole coming-out ceremony can be too much to bear sometimes, and this seems a viable option! Instead of having to turn it into a big deal, you can just blurt it out and see what happens. Obviously different people need different things, but this is just one option out of many.
