I'm gonna say it here too. Allow me to be crystal fucking clear.
- It is not cowardly to stay in the closet. Full stop. You do not owe anyone any part of yourself you aren't ready to share
- If you unable to come out because you fear for your safety or well-being or because you know it will cause you substantial discomfort, that is not a defect in you. It's a failure of the society in which you live and the community surrounding you.
- If you just don't want to share that part of yourself, that is valid and I support you
