[text] everyone knows the avenue q song

Since that virus sort of did a number on some of us, I wanted to kind of bring up something and hopefully people will treat the topic with respect and all that.

Um, lately I've noticed that viruses have been making it hard for some of us to accidentally out ourselves, either because we're scared or because we feel like we've gotta for some reason. It happened to me a little while ago and I know it happened at least twice this time around, so I wanted to say something to anyone who's afraid of this happening, or who's had it happened or anything like that.

The community is one of the best places to be open on. I never was at high school because that's not how things are really done there and honestly I'm not sure if it's how things are done here in NYC either, but I don't think it's embarrassing any more. And I don't think you guys should either. I know it's weird and since I'm from a Disney universe it's not really exactly the same for me as it is for others, but I don't think it's anything to be ashamed of (and I really never have so don't think I'm like making some kinda redemption post or something), and even if you don't tell your friends and family, it's okay to accept it about yourself.

You know? Like, I'm definitely not going to open up and tell anyone just out of the blue (IDK if people back home would even understand it? Disney's kind of weird), but still. It might make me weird in my universe but I know it definitely doesn't make you weird in yours. And it's not even that weird here in NYC in a Disney universe, so you know it can't be that weird in yours! :)

I just thought you guys should know, you know? That it's okay. And uh, if you want, I can give you my number and you can text me any time to talk about it. My name's Ryan, by the way.

I suppose so.

So you live in that Disneyland place?
iknowucan: (hell yeah i'm amazing)

[personal profile] iknowucan 2011-06-17 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I live in a universe that... like, runs on the rules of a Disney movie. Not like the park at all, except for being cheerful and good for kids of all ages.

Why did you say it was weird?
iknowucan: (hmmmmmm)

[personal profile] iknowucan 2011-06-17 12:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Because in my world things like being a social outcast and stuff are kind of not a thing like they are in other worlds.
iknowucan: (i have no idea man)

[personal profile] iknowucan 2011-06-17 01:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope! Well, not here. In other worlds I guess if I were really open about being gay I would be, I guess... But that's my point. Even if you would be a social outcast in your world, you should still be true to yourself, y'know?

[identity profile] number1112.livejournal.com 2011-06-17 01:21 pm (UTC)(link)
It seems there are a few gay people around here...
iknowucan: (bidoof face)

[personal profile] iknowucan 2011-06-17 01:26 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not really strange or unusual anywhere. Even in my world, now that I'm at college, a lot of people are more open about it and all.

[identity profile] number1112.livejournal.com 2011-06-17 01:41 pm (UTC)(link)
You really can be that open about it in your world? What about your parents?
iknowucan: (hell yeah i'm amazing)

[personal profile] iknowucan 2011-06-17 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Even if my parents knew, which they might for all I know, they would be progressive about it I'm pretty sure.
iknowucan: (aww.)

[personal profile] iknowucan 2011-06-18 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Not so good for people who don't have that luck, though.
iknowucan: (you've gotta be kidding)

[personal profile] iknowucan 2011-06-18 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
Are your parents not so big on accepting you...?

[identity profile] number1112.livejournal.com 2011-06-18 07:52 am (UTC)(link)
My father wants me to marry and have children. Carry on the family line and all that.
iknowucan: (hmmmmmm)

[personal profile] iknowucan 2011-06-18 07:55 am (UTC)(link)
:( I'm sorry, man. And you telling him that's not what you want to do won't go over too well, I take it?

[identity profile] number1112.livejournal.com 2011-06-18 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
I can't tell him that I'm just not interested in girls that way. I'm probably going to eventaully have to do what he wants.
iknowucan: (ain't got noboooody)

[personal profile] iknowucan 2011-06-18 08:04 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry. I wish there was something I could do. Maybe you could talk to your mom?

[identity profile] number1112.livejournal.com 2011-06-18 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
She can't communicate. There's something wrong with her. She basically just sleeps all day, except her eyes can be open.
iknowucan: (you've gotta be kidding)

[personal profile] iknowucan 2011-06-18 08:40 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, jeeze...

That's a really hard spot to be in. Um...

You have to do what's right for you, though. Just remember that. It might be what your dad wants but that doesn't mean you have to do it, if it doesn't feel right.

[identity profile] number1112.livejournal.com 2011-06-18 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
There's this guy I like... I want to be with him. At the moment we can only sneak around.
iknowucan: (hmmmmmm)

[personal profile] iknowucan 2011-06-18 09:03 am (UTC)(link)
...I don't know how long you're going to do that, but I'm sure that if you're true to yourself and your feelings, one day you guys will be able to be together.

[identity profile] number1112.livejournal.com 2011-06-18 09:11 am (UTC)(link)
I hope so, but I doubt it.
iknowucan: (you've gotta be kidding)

[personal profile] iknowucan 2011-06-18 09:47 am (UTC)(link)
Don't give up too soon, okay?

[identity profile] number1112.livejournal.com 2011-06-18 01:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm trying not to.
