my not so happy place

‎Yes, I thought it was the most beautiful scene ever (I'm not biased) I don't get how people don't think it's important when it is, very much so because I think we live in a society where people think that homophobia is a joke and it's all just "jokes", it's not. I've been a victim of homophobia and it really does hurt — Just like what Max told Will, Henry hurts too, everyone hurts. I think it's important because the queer community needs that representation and I think it's such a good representation of coming out, especially in a show so big, of course it means a lot to queer people! It's necessary!!! "Not all shows have to have gay representation-" Yeah well not all shows yeah I understand that, but I'm sorry if Stranger Things — Your "childhood" show that was 'ruined' — is one of that shows, It just so happens to be Stranger Things!

‎I agree with it being awkward and uncomfortable, It's supposed to be! Sometimes I just laugh because it's obvious people aren't out yet. I came out to my mom and yes, it was awkward and uncomfortable. Have you ever seen someone come out and it wasn't awkward and uncomfortable? I mean sure, he came out to a group of people but that's how he prefers it and I think he has a brave character for doing that. And to all those people who says "It's just coming out! Coming out isn't scary..." I think you guys are forgetting that this show is set in the 80's, It wasn't that easy to come out at that time, it was different before from now. Yes, it was unexpected, but do you expect someone to schedule coming out? I literally came out to my sister at 1am of course everything is unexpected and out of nowhere!!!

‎ Do you want to know why? Because it wasn't about the fact you're out, it was always because of the courage and confidence you had.
