Panicking-texting your little brother during a rooftop Wo...

Conversation

1. Why is my coming out voice note in the team's chat?
2. No—wait what, I didn't post anything, I swear to you.
3. It's a clip, it's already everywhere on my feed and Twitter.
4. I forwarded it to the group to wake people up, not to post.
5. You forwarded my private coming out voice note to other people?
6. I thought if more people heard it they'd stop whispering behind you.
7. That's not your decision, that's my life, you broke trust.
8. I didn't mean for reporters or strangers to see it, I panicked.
9. There's a stadium clip with my voice dubbed over, people are reposting.
10. Vance clipped audio from the rooftop livestream and posted it to his story.
11. So he weaponized my private message for likes, and you let it happen.
12. I begged him to take it down and he laughed, said 'too good'.
13. Why would you ever think public humiliation forces someone to be free?
14. Because I couldn't watch you shrink into jokes and pretend anymore.
15. You don't get to decide my timing, that is not permission.
16. I know, I know, I'm sorry, but I thought forcing it would help.
17. Do you realize Mom and Dad will see this and they're at the rooftop?
18. Mom is there; someone tagged her story and she just sent a screenshot.
19. You let this spread into our family chats, you destroyed my control.
20. I didn't tell her, it happened fast and I couldn't undo it.
21. This is betrayal, Mikey, not protection.
22. I thought freeing you mattered more than consent, and I was wrong.
23. You broke me to force honesty; that's a cruelty disguised as love.
24. I'm sorry, I really am, I panicked and I thought I was helping.
