My Infinite Oblivion

'Coming Out'

Hello internet, (Sorry Dan)

So as you may have noticed I have gone totally MIA for the past few months and for that I apologise. Also, if you perchance are reading this book for the first time I want to apologise profusely in the case that I deeply offended you in any way. I started this book over a year ago and trust me, I was extremely ignorant. 

Also, I am not 'Coming Out' myself. At this particular moment in time I lack a particular sexuality so no, this is not about me. It's about something that has been bugging me deeply for a few days.

Why why why, when people come out to their families, do the families have to usually 'take some time to think about it'? What are you supposed to be thinking about exactly? Whether or not you're going to accept this person again? If that's what it is, I don't ever want you to hear you call yourself a 'proud parent' (for example; in most cases it is the parents) because a true, proud parent is one that accepts their child for everything they have and do, no exceptions. You're not living through your child physically, are you? No. Therefore, you are not affected.

When someone comes out to you, you're not directly affected physically or mentally. Physically, though. I think the only case that would excuse that one would be in the case of conjoined twins; things would be rather awkward in the bedroom if you differed in sexualities. Mentally: HOW THE HELL - Anyway. My basic point is, don't make this about you. The world isn't going to explode based on your opinion of the person who came out to you for a reason: because they TRUST you and RESPECT you enough to tell you something that is extremely important to them which they would like to have known and accepted happily by you. You by all means have the right to be disappointed in the case that you have made mental plans for them in the future concerning dating and so forth but honestly at the end of the day that disappointment should be aimed at one person only: You, of course, for guessing their sexuality automatically. Open mindedness! 

And in the case of mulling over this piece of news: You basically have two choices. Either to accept it with flying colours and making the person love you a little bit more or to be disgusted that a person differs in sexualities to you! A HOMO??? No, we only vary in HETEROs here!! Be gone, person who is not and will never be you and who you will never fully understand due to the fact that you have totally separate beings; my prejudice is too strong to accept the likes of you!

God, I don't even know at this point. Don't be homophobic. Don't be dramatic about it. We're all the same struggling for survival skeletal beings at the end of the day. Yes, even you, Kanye West.
