I hate how the āend goalā for everyone whoās LGBT is basically for us to come out to everyone. Coming out is not a requirement that needs to be met. You can live a completely comfortable life without ever coming out to your parents or coworkers or anyone else that people assume you must be out to. Someone whoās not out is not āliving a lieā because thereās nothing wrong or dishonest with protecting yourself, your safety, and the safety of your partner should you have one. As long as someone is comfortable and happy where they are, theyāre under no obligation to change their out status. So we can stop pretending like coming out is the only major LGBT milestone and we can stop offering up a hundred million resources on how to do it unless itās requested first.
