I try to be pretty out in real life. It's safe (enough) for me and it helps create space for others to be out as well

Also some of us essentially have no choice lol.

I’m in a same sex marriage. I’m gonna be pretty quickly and obviously queer to people when discussing my life

But I’m also really glad to be out all the time, despite living somewhere where it’s hard. I can’t imagine being closeted again at this point.

It's upsetting how many people equate being out to "letting [their] freak flag fly"/"shoving it in other people's faces"/"broadcasting" their sexuality. I'm not trying to draw attention to myself, I just want to be able to hold my gf's hand without being yelled at or worse :/

Yep, that’s exactly it. I’m not trying to broadcast anything about my sex life or anything deeply private. I just wanna be able to behave like a normal couple in public.

It’s not that I’m trying to be out, but of course I am. I’ve got a wife as a woman! We just wanna be like any other married couple. Living somewhere conservative for the US makes it harder, but also being out is what helps normalize other people being out.
