Okay, so all comments I made before the entire story was revealed were almost entirely wrong (though I was right in that it wasn't a Big Fat Coming Out article). I still say that tweet was weird and premature, though. Couldn't let the article speak for itself, Mark Wossname? Had to jump the gun there? Though ZQ's blog post was amazing, and I think the better place (vs. the magazine article) to get across (at least some of) what was behind his decision. Obviously, the magazine interview was done weeks if not months ago. It would seem that the interview was done very recently. Maybe he came out to his family during the reunion in Texas, and so was ready to come out in the press? Or maybe that's too private to speculate on.
Can I say that it feels kind of weird to celebrate? Like, I feel like a bad fan for not jumping up and down and posting flaily gifs all over the place, but... I don't know where I was going with that. It's just a thing, a thing we kind of already knew and pretended didn't matter. Low-key celebration, maybe? A couple of guys in party hats quietly waving little rainbow flags? Maybe one of them has one of those unfurling party honkers that goes "TWEEEEEEEEE"? Or maybe I'm wrong (again) and we should all just go apeshit with joy. :oD Either way, I'm good to go.
It is a happy day.
