Some Answers to Some Things You’ve Been Asking Us #16

“Out beyond ideas of likable and unlikable comments there is a field. I’ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about.”

Coming Out First Person

Making a Home in the Closet

I was a newly minted queer and everything I knew about queerness was rooted in coming out. I’d heard about the relief that came with coming out from everybody. If TV was to be believed, I would feel free even as my parents stopped looking me in the eye.

“Marvel’s Runaways” Episode 104 Recap: The Problem With Chase

It’s hard to look forward to Karolina’s impending coming out arc, which is taking the slow-burn route, when her most significant storyline so far has been that she was almost raped and that Chase stopped it from happening. Writers, stop doing stories like these!
