"A cage went in search of a bird"

The contradictions between what we're told we should feel and what we actually do feel generates a huge amount of unnecessary suffering. 

And we'll see that it's not only gay people that have to come out of the closet.We all have closets we have to come out of. Right? 

And when we do come out of those closets, we'll recognize that our fight is not with each other, our fight is with an outdated vision that conflates shame and confusion with understanding and empathy. It's time we moved beyond that.

I think a lot of people are fractured by unrealistic expectations that are based upon this false vision of human behaviour. That's what I'm trying to get at.
