My only gay friend told me that only people who are out should write about LGBTQ stuff. I’m closeted because everyone around me is homophobic. And as an aspiring writer it really hurt me. She feels that people like me aren’t brave or proud and so should not write books like that. But this is my truth too and I’m proud I’m just surrounded by homophobic people. I can’t talk about this with anyone else because no one else knows. Do I have to come out to write gay characters or about being gay? Any advice would be great.

You don’t have to come out to live your life how you want to live it.
And that friend seems toxic, sorry.
I would love to read your story. We need more LGBTQ writer, as they are the one who knows how life is for them and their community.
Hope you are doing well.
