All the best for navigating through the readings and thank you for still posting such a wonderful piece. As long as it's yours and does not need revision, time really does not matter right now.
Your post reminds me of Akhil Katyal and how there has been a sort of fetishization of the act(if I may call so) of coming out. I think as your last line carefully warns us to not stay restricted, limited or reduce queer fantasy,fiction or work to just coming out. Definitely coming out is a transgression and a revolutionary act in itself. But there are a host of other emotions,situations, conditions connected with this identity or non binary culture. I mean coming out can easily be captured and co-opted as representing everything about queer identity if I may call it so.
On another note, I am excited to go and watch these movies.
