Coming out of the closet part 3 After School

This is part 3 of 3
This is part of the most personal set of videos I have ever done. But I hope that it will help people understand what those gay people are all about.

I need to be educated here. why do gay people feel the need to tell others?

Is it because the gay person has had to hold it in for so long, that it is a relief to finally tell someone? but again; why would anyone want to make another person uncomfortable with the confrontation that will surely follow.

I can understand people coming out who are constantly being setup with dates from a well meaning family member.

Educate me someone

peace

Hi Trepeg,

hey, thanks for making the video.

a lot of your story reminded me of my school days. lets hope it will help those still in school that are in the same position.

If you find yourself existing outside of these norms for whatever reason, youre left with little choice but to define yourself in relation to the 'norm', as other. Its important to remember that what a society considers normal is itself a construction. People are forced to come out only because societys norms have erected structures around them which shut them in in the first place!

[HerzogsShoe]

However, its a sad fact that we as a species seem susceptible to falling back to those depressingly small-minded & simplistic tendencies, where anyone who isnt normal, anyone who is in some way perceived as posing a threat to the societys rigid notions of itself, is ostracized or worse. This need to have structures by which to define ourselves means that often people carry around very rigid ideas about what is & isnt normal.

[HerzogsShoe]

The problem with this is that of course, humans arent simple, we dont fit into neat categories & certainly the idea that there is such a thing as normal or indeed the idea of a simple right/wrong good/evil is limiting once a society has developed beyond a certain stage. Its a good indicator that were coming along when there can be a plurality of ideas, & crucially when we come to some realisation of just how little we know! We realise that things are complicated, there is no black & white.

thanks for sharing.

I have a lot of repressed memories from childhood and adolescence.
