Full of gratitude tonight for all of the amazing, wondrous queer people in my life today. 🥰 I never imagined, when I began the process of coming out that led to today, that a night like tonight would ever be possible.
Twenty-five years ago this August, a scared, closeted Chris Geidner was about to start his senior year of high school in Austintown, Ohio. I was writing letters — mailed ones — to an out gay teen I met in July at a conference. Eventually, a few letters in, I said I, too, was gay.
Tonight, I went to a queer space in NYC, where I was seeing a queer Australian I got to know on Twitter sing songs to a room full of queer people — so many of whom I know and are among the most delightful people I’ve met in this city over the years. It was magical. 
My whole weekend was full of several such perfect moments, and I am so grateful to everyone who was a part of this trip. It was precisely what I needed — and a reminder of how different my life is now: I’d never give up this queerness that once so frightened me. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
With that ... Night from NYC, all, and let us try to be good to one another — and ourselves — this week. 😴
