National Staying In Day

quelola:

Because the closet is a sanctuary.

Because of survival.

Because communities aren’t safe.

Because of survival.

Because your sexuality is yours.

Because of survival.

Because your existence is validated not by who you tell but the fact that you do what you need to to stay alive.

Because you define what “coming out” is on your terms.

Because community priorities are not ur priorities.

Because telling no one is just as important.

Because not being “out” does not mean you are less than.

Because of survival.
