oh, oh, and an addendum: if i see one more fucking show play out the idea that “being a bitch” is something that needs to be “cured” like i’m looking at a cigarette ad in 1951 instead of a scripted mainstream media platform in 2011, i am going to climb right up out of this yellow wallpaper and PUNCH SOME PEOPLE IN THEIR FACES
November 2011
“It’s rad that Finn wants Santana to feel free to be her unicorn-loving self. It’s cool that he knows how sometimes people turn their aggression inward when they’re so full of anger. But come on, man. He feels sorry for her? HE FEELS SORRY FOR HER? That’s condescending to a face-punching degree. Even the most empathetic straight ally cannot begin to comprehend the dynamic process of coming out. The way antecedent experiences and cultural triggers and zeitgeisty conversations and religious leanings and familial relationships and a badrillion unspeakable hopes and fears and dreams and nightmares collide inside a person when they say out loud for the very first time, “I’m gay.” And all the well-meaning guilt-trippin’ and in-your-face singin’ in the world isn’t going to change that. As gay people, we don’t get to choose whether or not our friends and families and co-workers and church leaders and politicians accept us, but coming out in our own time in our own way in our own space is the one thing we do get to choose. And we deserve to figure out how to do that in our own time in our own way.”

“When I’m with Brittany I finally understand what people are talking about when they talk about love. And I’ve tried so hard to push this feeling away, to keep it locked inside, but every day just feels like a war. And I walk around so mad at the world when I’m really just fighting with myself, and I don’t want to fight anymore. I’m just too tired. I have to just be me.”
