Demi Burnett

Like it wasn't just a phase. It was something that I wanted to be known like that I am. But I was really scared of how all of my family would perceive that because That's unacceptable where I grew up. Like my granny cried and sobbed. Why did you do that on TV, Demi? I was watching that with my church group. Why? The fuck? What does that have to do with the Lord?

But anyway, I was like, if I do it this way. then what are they going to do about it? Like they can't, I don't know. They won't be able to shame me out of it. Like there's so many other gay people right now, like especially like out and proud. And there's such a beautiful community that like, I don't think that like I don't think I'm going to get shamed for it.

I think that people would just appreciate it and relate to it. And I think that if they could see that and see that I wouldn't be vilified and shamed and people wouldn't be disgusted by me for it, then they could accept it, too. And it worked. I mean, I think that maybe they might have been scared to go against it because I there are so many people that support it.

But either way, they don't treat me differently. Like they don't talk to me. Granny's a different story. Ask me when the last time I've seen her is, you know, like, yeah, I definitely like don't have a good relationship with like my family right now. But I think it's just because I'm so scared of being scolded of like being in trouble, just being like guilt tripped. I don't know a lot. Yeah.

But when there was so much support online, I think it made it it made it so much better for me because. It made them, like my family, not able to say anything. I don't know. Yeah.

It's like I manipulate it, but I didn't mean to. But I manipulated it to protect myself and to be able to... get what I wanted, which is ultimately I want to come out, but like orchestrate it to where like, Oh, well my family will find out like this way and then there'll be support. So then they're not going to come after me because there'll be too much support.

Like I didn't think these steps out like that, but it's like subconsciously that's probably what's what happened. Yeah. That's what my brain knows will happen. Like it knows this pattern will happen without me having to like plan out the steps, you know what I mean? Or like think like, okay, so if I come out on the bachelor in paradise, That was insane. Why did I do that? No, it really did.
