Welcome to the Oscars on this beautiful night! We’re here to honor movies and we’re doing it right! But before we continue I’ve got something to say:… - Neil Patrick Harris

Some would say you were in a closet. Some would say you didn’t even know you were in a house. The “truth” about a person’s sexual preference is often revealed through a long journey of tiny steps, and acceptance is one of the last ones. It’s an individual story for every person. There are unique personal prejudices in everyone, created by our families, our social circles, and mostly by ourselves. It’s tough to confront those things that you are afraid of in yourself.

"Let that be a lesson, homophobes," you think proudly. "You wanna try to bully me? Prepare to get calmly notified the shit out of."

So pluck up your courage and take that risk! Add another story to the book of your life. Even if it doesn’t go the way you planned or wanted, you’ll still learn from it.
