#which is stupid because if we wanna normalise queerness we should maybe stop treating it as if it's not normal/not the norm
Text
I really dislike the attitude of "why didn't you tell me earlier" when it comes to coming out
1. there can be many reasons
2. a queer person does not owe you anything, even if you are close
3. THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU
#also it perpetuates the idea that you assume everyone is cishet until you are told otherwise#i don't believe that people who react like this are bad people#a friend reacted like that after she found out about me being queer#which i simply hadn't told her about because i was still in the process of figuring myself out#but it also perpetuates that coming out thing#which is stupid because if we wanna normalise queerness we should maybe stop treating it as if it's not normal/not the norm#also hate when they do this in media#prime example ted lasso#i really like this show#but damn was the isaac colin thing stupid#i knew where they were going with it from the beginning#and i did not like it one bit#that whole trope puts the blame/guilt on the queer person for 'not trusting their friend(s) enough#as if queer people don't already have to deal with enough shit#my boy colin went through that whole episode thinking his best friend was homophobic and hated him now#not to mention the possibility of isaac outing him#the show wants you to believe that this was just a misunderstanding between friends and that there is no bad guy#but there is (even if it wasn't his intention) and it's isaac#queer#coming out#outing#ted lasso#colin hughes#isaac mcadoo
