Wow that article was a huge eye opener. It’s always so heartbreaking to hear that the people making your favorite entertainment suffered so much behind the scenes. I don’t know why it’s so common.
At least lindelof sounds like he acknowledges and regrets it. Cuse is in full denial mode.
I’m also straight passing and feel uncomfortable telling people I’m bi, as tho I’m claiming oppression when I actually have privilege. But with supportive communities and friends, it doesn’t have to be like that.
I hope you find the courage to talk about it with some people you trust irl. There’s something very freeing about just treating it as another aspect of yourself and being around people who accept that. My long term partner is also bi and I’m the only person who knows, but I’m glad he felt comfortable telling me.
