Coming out shouldn't exist.

"Coming out shouldn't exist.

Yeah, It shouldn’t because it shouldn’t matter what everyone is or finds attractive

Having said that there’s something so freeing about being able to voice it out for the first time

when being cisgender hetero is the norm.

Hopefully one day in the future none will feel the need to come out at all because everything is just seen as normal

Great story on our local radio that a football ref has taken the opportunity to come out today...

James Adcock..

Oh the irony

It makes me sad this is even needed.

My 20 year old told me he was gay when he was 16. I've known since he was about 3. I was so proud of him and I know even now its still not possible for everyone to be true to themselves.

My middle son told me he was bi a few months back, he's 15. Again I'm super proud of him too.

I wish the rest of the world could be more accepting, more understanding and in general a lot kinder to each other

I think having parents who are open minded, as you most likely are, helps too. I should imagine plenty daren’t.

That's sadly true. My son has friends in exactly that position and I just feel so bad for them

I can’t believe we live in a world where sexual identity and gender identity that don’t conform “the norm” are still not accepted by some parents …

Me either, but at least it’s getting better. Let’s hope it improves exponentially as generations that have been brought up with it being normal are now adults and their children will be even more accepting

But Is it really getting better?

Because I *sadly* heard the thoughts of this

woman on YouTube who spouted off about how its ridiculous that certain kids can feel different than the way they were assigned at birth brushing it off with “If my 5 yrs old son said he’s a girl… I’d just say but …are you tho?” And forget about it and brush it off

The scariest part is the flood of comments of people agreeing with her and being ignorant and nasty!

I thought things were getting better but I have to say … as things are.. im not sure anymore …

I’d say it must be getting better really. There were absolutely no openly LBGTQ+ kids at my school. Many didn’t even come out until their 30’s. I think it is being embraced more. The internet gives a voice to people positively and negatively, so just because you’ve seen a few people not accepting it, I’m sure plenty more are

Well, as you say, let’s hope it’s not even a ‘thing’ at some point soon. No such thing as coming out. You just are whatever you think you are from the time you feel it

I agree that I look forward to a time when coming out isn’t required and isn’t a thing. I’d hate if my children felt the need to do this, it should be a case of ‘love is love’ as they’ve been taught and shown through their lives.

How can you know a child's sexuality at age 3?

Because I just knew and I'm sure other parents will have been the same

The answer is in the storyline, both children becoming teenagers new, at 3 years of age you would not have a clue

Many people report that they knew their sexuality pre-school, so there's no reason why a parent couldn't share this understanding.
