words CANNOT express how proud of noah schnapp i am. 

as a person that is apart of the LGBTQ+ community and is too afraid to tell her own family, it's hard to comprehend this. noah had the courage to come out to his entire fanbase, family, and friends. sometimes i feel people don't understand how truly hard that is. 

my entire family is homophobic so i quite literally cannot tell anyone im gay, so to see someone come out to that many people warms my heart. even though i can't do it, i am so immensely proud of those who can. it makes me so happy to see scenes where people are overwhelmed with happiness because they are accepted. 

it's so, so hard to be someone that has to keep their sexuality to themself simply because they are afraid of rejection. so, that being said,

to all of those in the closet that are scared to come out: i love each and every one of you. i understand the feeling of being afraid. i know the feeling all too well. and even though you feel the people you love won't support you, know that there are more who will. i know for a fact that i do. and if you ever feel like you need someone to talk to, you can always message me. and to those who are out of the closet, i am so proud of you. 

i am proud of all of you. truly. and i love you all. 

please stay safe out there, and message me if you need someone to talk to!
