Connor Jessup publicly came out as gay in June of last year
“I, but I hid it for years,” he began. “I folded it and slipped it under the rest of my emotional clutter. Not worth the hassle. No one will care anyway. If I can just keep making it smaller, smaller, smaller … My shame took the form of a shrug, but it was shame.”
“I’m a white, cis man from an upper-middle class liberal family. Acceptance was never a question. But still, suspended in all this privilege, I balked,” Jessup continued. “It took me years.”and the “tedious game” he played of hiding who he is, explaining what inspired him to come out before ending his caption, “To all the queers, deviants, misfits, and lovers in my life: I love you. I love you.
