532<p>I haven&#8217;t thought much about the two decades I spent hiding in the closet. I came out and didn&#8217;t really want to think about what it was like before. That changed nearly seven years later when I first watched <a href="https://www.netflix.com/title/81059939" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">“Heartstopper” on Netflix</a>. </p>
533
534
535
536<p>Memories and a mix of emotions came flooding in while I watched sparks literally (yes, in the literal sense) appear on the screen in this fantastic story.</p>
537
538
539
540<p>I am not someone who can watch a movie or TV show more than once, but I have watched this show more than a few times. </p>

544<p>This <a href="https://aliceoseman.com/heartstopper/read-online/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">web comic</a> &amp; <a href="https://amzn.to/3vxqfDq" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">book series</a> turned TV show appears to invoke very different reactions from its rather diverse audience:</p>
545
546
547
548<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>A young LGBTQ+ person feeling comfortable enough, or using the show, to come out to their family and friends</li><li>The parent using it to show their kids that they&#8217;re accepting</li><li>The family member who is gaining insight into what the LGBTQ+ experience is like in high school</li></ul>
549
550
551
552<p>For me, it unlocked repressed memories of the shame and fear of being in the closet. </p>
553
554
555
556<p>I <strong>desperately</strong> needed a show like this when I was growing up. </p>

561
562
563
564<p>&#8220;Heartstopper&#8221; is a coming-of-age life and love story presented through the eyes of Charlie Spring &amp; Nick Nelson—two examples of a more accepting generation. </p>
565
566
567
568<p>The uplifting LGBTQ+ series is a beautiful escape from the painful realities of life in the 2020s—yet not afraid to confront the issues of coming out, bullying, and mental health.</p>

576<p>The TV adaption received the rare <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/heartstopper" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">100% on Rotten Tomatoes</a>, book sales surged, and Netflix <a href="https://www.netflix.com/tudum/videos/heartstopper-season-2-and-3-announcement" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">renewed it for two additional seasons</a> amid a period of economic challenges for the streaming giant. </p>
577
578
579
580<p>&#8220;Heartstopper&#8221; was a win for Netflix, <a href="https://s22.q4cdn.com/959853165/files/doc_financials/2022/q2/FINAL-Q2-22-Shareholder-Letter.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">highlighted in the company’s earnings report</a> released in July, showing 67 million view hours in its first month. </p>
581
582
583
584<p>It spent three weeks on the Global Top 10 TV list. &#8220;Heartstopper&#8221; posted in the Top 10 in 54 countries (same-sex marriage is legal in 32 countries).</p>
585
586
587
588<p>The eight-episode first season even broke the Top 10 list in three countries where same-sex relations are illegal.</p>

604<p>BBC TV Critic Scott Bryan described a similar feeling in <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/5live/entries/4cfb599b-e031-4a9a-9634-77114cf5e2c9" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a recent episode of BBC’s Must Watch</a> podcast.</p>

614<p>“It’s a Must Watch. This show has left an impact on me in a huge way,” Bryan said, explaining how he felt mesmerized by the joyful scenes.</p>
615
616
617
618<p>Yet, in the end… he felt the same. Sad. </p>
619
620
621
622<p>“When I’ve spoken to friends who have seen the show, there is a weird melancholy after you finish watching this,” he said in the podcast. “Even though I had friends and family who were accepting of me, I came out when I was 14, having that media representation was lacking. I never really saw myself on TV.&#8221;</p>
623
624
625
626<p>Neither did I. </p>
627
628
629
630<p>Representation and visibility have been lacking in media. </p>
631
632
633
634<p>This melancholy response to an otherwise heartwarming show appears to be a common emotion, especially for those in their mid-twenties and older. But, of course, the world was a different place 10 years ago when <a href="https://aliceoseman.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">author and creator Alice Oseman</a> and I were a similar age as the main characters of the show.</p>

664<p>My school experience didn&#8217;t match the world depicted by this incredible cast, led by Kit Connor (Nick) and Joe Locke (Charlie). I didn&#8217;t have my first boyfriend until after I was out. I couldn&#8217;t act on a crush without fear of being bullied or losing a friendship. </p>

680<p>On the morning of June 26, 2015, news interns ran from the Supreme Court to the reporters standing outside to deliver the results in the landmark <a href="https://www.oyez.org/cases/2014/14-556" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Obergefell v. Hodges</a> marriage equality case. </p>

688<p>I was also an intern, sitting in a Chicago newsroom, silently overwhelmed with emotion.</p>
689
690
691
692<p>With most people, I was still in the closet.  But the energy in that building and watching the country react to this decision shocked my world.</p>
693
694
695
696<p>Until that point, I wasn’t super comfortable with my sexuality. I had come out to my parents a few months earlier.</p>

720<p>Yet, I felt like I was watching myself on TV when one of the characters in &#8220;Heartstopper&#8221; is seen on Google taking BuzzFeed-like quiz about his sexuality, reading about Stonewall and conversion therapy. It was the most realistic fictional moment I’ve ever seen.</p>
721
722
723
724<p>That’s not to say that queer representation in media was zero, but stories ended in tragedy, or the character provided comic relief. It was neither very accurate nor uplifting.</p>
725
726
727
728<p>That experience of hiding in the closet and coming out may not have been so lonely had I seen a moment like that on TV. </p>

732Subtle moments of self-acceptance</h2>
733
734
735
736<p>While I may not have had that media visibility, I recall moments when people around me helped me feel safe and hopeful for better days ahead.</p>
737
738
739
740<p>A few weeks ago, I saw a <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/04/opinions/heartstopper-queer-teen-love-story-wellness-hetter/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&#8220;Heartstopper&#8221;-related column</a> written by someone who impacted my own journey of self-acceptance.</p>

745
746
747
748<p>CNN Digital Senior Editor <a href="https://journalists.org/profiles/katia-hetter/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Katia Hetter</a> may not realize that she and fellow co-chair ONA Student Newsroom Co-Chair <a class="docs-creator" href="https://journalists.org/profiles/michelle-johnson/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Michelle Johnson</a> were not just mentors. They were crucial representation for me- two strong and proud LGBTQ+ journalists living successful lives. </p>
749
750
751
752<p>Hetter’s perspective on this show is a must-read for parents. She writes about her mother’s unconditional love and acceptance in a much less accepting era. </p>
753
754
755
756<p>She reinforced that unconditional love by watching the show with her own children.</p>
757
758
759
760<p>It&#8217;s a subtle act, but one that would likely make an impact if her child was struggling with their identity. A similar element was weaved in the show depicting how simple words and actions from the people around you can have an amplified effect during that journey.</p>
761
762
763
764<p>These subtle, yet powerful, comments from people like Olivia Colman&#8217;s character saying her son seemed much more like himself appeared to shed bits of shame or fear from his face. </p>

769
770
771
772<p>I wish I could recall a specific line or discussion with Katia or Michelle, but those memories, like so many from that time in my life seem to be repressed. </p>
773
774
775
776<p>I do remember two great mentors who added the confidence I needed at that moment in my life. Six months after meeting them, I returned to the Chicago area and came out to my parents.</p>
777
778
779
780<p>Rather than a story like &#8220;Heartstopper,&#8221; Hetter and I had fellow our classmates to lean on.</p>
781
782
783
784<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-style-default is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>&#8220;I came out my senior year in college, surrounded by fellow students who had come out before me. They became my own #Heartstopper crowd — my Darcy, Tara, Tao and Isaac — and I loved them for supporting me and really saving my life.&#8221;</p><cite>Katia Hetter, CNN</cite></blockquote>
785
786
787
788<p>Similarly, my close college friend Trent was the primary reason I was okay. I remember many late-night discussions in the student newspaper’s newsroom or campus hub. And I finally began to feel less alone. </p>

792<h2 class="wp-block-heading">My Heartstopper-like representation was YouTube</h2>
793
794
795
796<p>As each generation advances in LBGTQ+ visibility, I had YouTube. </p>
797
798
799
800<p>I watched every coming-out video on YouTube. I vividly recall <a class="docs-creator" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYodBfRxKWI" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Connor Franta’s powerful video</a> – viewed 12.4 million times. It provided me the self-acceptance and final boost of confidence I needed to tell family and friends.</p>

813
814<p>As for the actual experience of coming out, it went pretty well. My immediate world was (mostly) loving and accepting. </p>
815
816
817
818<p>While my memories may be fuzzy, Facebook has history recorded for me. Here are just a few comments that struck me as I was looking back to write this post:  </p>
819
820
821
822<p>My grandfather was my fiercest ally up until he died <a href="https://geheren.me/eulogy-for-my-grandfather-jack-cacciabondo/">last year</a>.</p>

830<p>Speaking of YA romance, Erin Hahn (author of several novels, including <a href="https://amzn.to/3vyA4kz" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>Never Saw You Coming</em></a> and the forthcoming <a href="https://amzn.to/3zMqdu6" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>Built to Last</em></a>) wrote this lovely comment: </p>

836
837
838<p>It wasn’t always rainbows and happiness.</p>
839
840
841
842<p>Another comment was from a fellow high school classmate. </p>
843
844
845
846<p>Like him, despite being in a school of nearly 3,000 students, I don’t recall being aware of anyone openly out.</p>

851
852
853
854<p>I lost someone I was close to because she was not supportive of my “lifestyle.” </p>
855
856
857
858<p>I experienced homophobia. And bullying.</p>
859
860
861
862<p>There are many parallels between the challenges of being queer and young, as faced by Locke&#8217;s character Charlie in &#8220;Heartstopper.&#8221;</p>
863
864
865
866<p>Flash forward seven years, and I am doing fine. Hiding and lying all those years made it feel liberating to come out and I never really looked back until now.</p>

876
877
878<p>Watching &#8220;Heartstopper&#8221; and then observing the world over the last three months has been a little whiplash. </p>
879
880
881
882<p>Last week, <a href="https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2022373" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">157 members of Congress voted against</a> codifying my right to marry.

906<p>LGBTQ+ visibility in media has been the target of increased attacks and inflammatory rhetoric, especially when the intended audie

914<p>“If you aren’t a member of the community, you might not understand why visibility is so important, but as a person who had a very difficult time accepting my identity, it would have really helped me,&#8221; he said.</p>

935
936
937
938<p>Because of the work of Oseman, executive producer Patrick Walters, and the entire &#8220;Heartstopper&#8221; team, young people have the incredible story of Nick Nelson and Charlie Spring to feel a little less alone. </p>

942<p>I&#8217;m sure this show has and will continue to save lives. </p>
