This is all speculation on my part, but I do think that to become comfortable with your own queerness and to acknowledge it or be able to verbalize it, does require such a deep level of self-reflection and ability to feel comfortable with yourself. The reason that I am comfortable with Colleen is because Colleen is comfortable with Colleen and Elise is comfortable with Elise. There’s something there about trusting someone who feels as comfortable with themselves as you feel with yourself.
