Do I have to be an amazing person before I can say that I am gay? Do I need to get validation from society before I have the freedom to come out? No, it should not be like that. We are all people who experience craziness, happiness, and disappointment. Once we have achieved happiness, we can continue onto the next goal. Only when we break free from the shackles of society, the workplace, and the family will we be able to finally achieve true freedom.
