"It's good to get out of the closet and talk about it and find out other people's views"
About this Quote
“Good to get out” carries the understated relief of stepping into air that doesn’t feel stale. She doesn’t glamorize it; she normalizes it. Then she pivots to “talk about it,” a phrase that shifts the focus from identity as private truth to identity as public relationship. The subtext is quietly radical: visibility isn’t just for the person coming out; it’s also a demand placed on everyone else to respond, to reveal their assumptions, to be accountable.
The last clause - “find out other people’s views” - is where the quote gets especially interesting. It’s not naive kumbaya optimism; it’s a pragmatic read on how culture changes. You don’t learn what you’re up against (or who’s with you) until you make the subject speakable. In an era when queer celebrities were often treated as PR liabilities or tabloid curiosities, Matarazzo’s intent feels less like self-branding and more like community-building: breaking the closet’s isolation by turning it into dialogue. Coming out here isn’t an endpoint. It’s a method.
