I'm gonna say it here too. Allow me to be crystal fucking clear.
It is not cowardly to stay in the closet. Full stop. You do not owe anyone any part of yourself you aren't ready to share
If you unable to come out because you fear for your safety or well-being or because you know it will cause you substantial discomfort, that is not a defect in you. It's a failure of the society in which you live and the community surrounding you.
If you just don't want to share that part of yourself, that is valid and I support you

It's June again so this is your reminder that Pride is for...
People who are out and open
Those who aren't out yet (or ever)
Folks who can't be out right now for their safety
People still figuring this whole thing out
Someone trying out a new label or identity for the first time
Folks in various stages of transition or transformation
Those who came before, who made things better for us now
The generations after us, who inspire us to keep making things better
We see you, you're valid, and Pride is for you too. <3

I love Star Trek because yes it's a utopian socialist future of science, empathy, and exploration, but they don't just say "one day we stopped arguing and it all just sorta worked out" they very much had genocide, fascism, and WWIII and then afterward, when all the things we're terrified will happen had happened, we still had a chance to be better and we didn't waste it. That's the beauty of it, not that we magically overcame our differences, but that the worst happened and we didn't succumb to nihilism.
