1. Sam—don’t go live, please.
2. What screenshot? I posted a teaser.
3. The screenshot you used is my private message.
4. No—are you serious? Send it.
5. The one where I offered to help them come out.
6. That reads like collaboration, not betrayal.
7. They’re terrified and told me not to tell anyone.
8. Then why would I out them at Pride?
9. Because you used my DM as 'proof' in the post.
10. I didn't post your DM, someone sent it anonymously.

12. They DMed me 'expose before they do', I panicked.
13. You panicked and tagged them? Sam, you tagged them.

15. They're not ready; they begged me to wait.
