Description
This is not about keeping people in the closet.This is a shout out to all the queer people (myself included) who hold back on expressing their queer pride as openly as others.
Some of us are only just discovering our queerness. Others are dealing with a lousy work environment. Many of us are just not in the right emotional space.
It's important to remember that for some queerness presents a very real physical danger. Maybe they're in an abusive home, or school. Maybe they have a past trauma that is easily triggered. They might have even been the target of "religious" hate crimes.
For many expressing pride is a way of life and a duty. But for others its a luxury they can't yet afford.
Please be patient with us. Please show us acceptance. Don't write us off, or put us down.
We hope to wave that banner with you some day, just not yet.
And for my fellow hesitant queers? It's not just okay to go through life at your own pace, it's necessary.
Never kick yourself for taking your time. Never!

In the picture on the bottom right, in the background, it says "prom" in rainbow letters on the poster. There's a musical called The Prom about a lesbian couple trying to get the rights of going to their school prom, and I thought it fit with the theme of the comic! ^w^

Huh! I'm surprised my partner has never told me about this musical!
...maybe she did though and I wasn't listening. That is a distinct possibility! ^_^;

I really appreciate these types of comics. If you're on Facebook, do you wanna post some of these types of comics in my group? It's called Best Comebacks Against Anti-Queer Bigotry.
I always have to resist the urge to post tons of DeviantArt stuff on it. It's always better to ask for permission.

To each their own! My brother is so opposed to facial hair of any kind he shaves his face every day. Refuses to have any kind of hair on his face whatsoever.
So yeah you're entitled to your opinion just as long as you don't impose it on others ^_^

A lot of it is exaggeration and posturing. Might as well be bullfrogs croaking.

there rather hiding from something or rather or just in love with their voice

It tends to sound like the latter but really it's the former.

This deviation spoke to me. It is comforting to hear from those who have to be hesitant also. I come from a hyper-conservative family and I know that I can never come out to them without risking being disowned. And I can't afford that due to very fragile settings where I need to remain part of the family. I hate hiding things but at the same time I feel it's the only way I can do things. I express myself far away from my family and even at that I sometimes don't get treated well. I can't always express my pride but it makes me really happy to know I don't have to. (I often feel like perhaps I'm not "queer enough" because of my lack of ability to express my queerness).

I'm so glad this provided some comfort.
With so many out and proud people in our community it can be easy to forget how many of us aren't there just yet.
I'm sorry to read that your family situation prevents you from being yourself. I understand why you're still in hiding.
Just remember, you actually *can*choose your family. They may not be the family you grew up with, or those that raised you?
But so many of us queer kids will move away and find family elsewhere in a drag queen, a neighbor, or someone in the same position.
So while you might not be able to be completely out of the closet now? I think that should be a goal of yours.
I also felt that I could keep quiet forever, but the truth is that I couldn't. Living with that weight on your shoulders is unsustainable.
Hope things work out for you! <3
