Coming out

It is 2015 and for some, coming out and being true to who you are with your closest circle of friends and family can remain daunting.  Watching this video of the Rhodes Brothers who are fraternal twins brought me back to when I finally came out at first to friends and later my family.  It is hard to articulate how personal and terrifying this process can be for individuals and my heart broke all over again watching this clip.  I have no idea what their relationship with their father is like who apparently does not live near his sons, but his response was spot on, which only made me get more choked up.  Nearly 20 years later and I still get emotional watching the stress and pain associated with coming out.

Much thanks to NewNowNext for sharing this story since I don’t subscribe to the Rhodes Bros YT channel and missed this post from earlier in the month.

  1. Can you tell us your coming out history? I know your blog isn’t so much about personal stuff, but could you?
