I’ve been out as a queer lady for around 15 years now. I stumbled out of the closet with dutch courage afforded to me by my good friend alcohol and, in that moment, gave little thought to how my revelation might affect my life from that day onwards.
But there’s another coming out I’ve been a little more cautious about, unsure how those I love might react. I feel a bit embarrassed about it. I think people might make fun of me, or think I’m weird. I think it’s time to face the music though and come out and I say it… I like armpits.
