My hope is that the coming-out story might not be necessary in a generation or two. So many kids today are like, “Coming out? I was never in.” And I love that so many young LGBTQ folks have the security and confidence to be themselves from the beginning. I certainly wish that I had sashayed down the stairs in fourth grade and yelled, “Mama! She’s queer, hinny, get ovah it!” then done that tongue-pop thing followed by a cooter slam.
