"When someone like Anderson Cooper comes out, it changes things, just a little bit. There’s one less glass closet in this world, one more tiny shift in the public sphere. So as a queer woman, I find cynicism and snark from heterosexual people who’ve never experienced the pressure of either the closet or outness just a little much. It’s not the sign of your comfort with queer culture that you might think it is, and it’s not particularly supportive. We still face immense pressure, and that requires your empathy and compassion, not your judgment."
— Tiger Beatdown, “People in Glass Closets: Anderson Cooper and Straight Responses to Coming Out” [See also: Frank Ocean, obvs.] (via jsmooth995)
