i know exactly what she means by assimilating yourself. i'm definitely not ashamed to be queer, but sometimes i still find myself trying to "mask" it by emphatically sharing that i find a guy celebrity hot or down-toning how i find women attractive. it's an unconscious thing that i often do in front of my family to seem more "normal" to them. it sucks and i wish i wouldn't do it, especially when i realize i don't even mean what i'm saying half the time, i'm just trying to seem as heterosexual as possible.
