Two blog-worthy anniversaries are happening this week. One year ago I wrote my first post on this blog. One year ago I also told my best friend Chelsea that I’m gay, marking the beginning of my “2010 Coming Out Tour.” With those achievements in mind, a celebratory blog post seems fitting.
I think these pictures speak from themselves, but I offer them as a visual answer to the question, “When did you first know you were gay?” Or, in other words, “How did anyone not know I was gay?!”
Enjoy!
Rainbow colors for a very straight rainbow drawing.
Purple and pink reinforcers
I would like the colors of the rainbow.
Assignment: Draw a self-portrait.
“The Rainbow Series” (1994)
Suggestive imagery
Yup.
I told everyone I was going to marry her because she was “cute.”
Yup.
So gay!
Letter swirls
My bedtime buddy would be a banana.
Gymnastics and Beanie Babies? Yup.
Cheers to reinforcing gay stereotypes!
