This recently out girl’s friends held an iconic funeral for her heterosexuality
Have you ever felt like your old self died when you finally came out to people? For a group of queer friends in Los Angeles, their last remaining “straight” member experiencing this feeling was cause for celebration.In a hilarious TikTok video, Nicole Maynard and friends celebrated her coming out by holding a funeral for her heterosexuality.
If the message weren’t clear enough, the “RIP STRAIGHT NICOLE” banner should suffice in summarizing.It seems like the coming out party we all deserved:The party was complete with veils, eulogies, and seemingly plenty to drink.
A celebration of her straight life — or, at least, the end of it.Related: This 84-year-old grandma just hit a lesbian milestone in the most heartwarming way“The funeral was everything I could have hoped for and more,” Maynard said in a recent interview. “I have always been the token ‘straight’ friend in the friend group, and then after a break up with a man this year, I finally felt ready to explore my bisexuality.”She had apparently already explored a bit, having made out with a girl she met on Hinge this past Fourth of July.
The gay agenda is apparently in full effect even on hetero holidays, who knew!The funeral aspect of it all started as an inside joke with the group, but was just too good not to make official.“The idea of ‘RIP Straight Nicole’ took off, and then I decided there was no better way to celebrate my coming out than a funeral for my straight self,” she says. “I told my friends the idea, designed an invitation, and my friends did the rest.”Related: Dylan Mulvaney just killed this transphobe with kindness (and, okay, a little shade)“I went to the Halloween store and got a tombstone,” Maynard’s best friend Amanda Brown remarks.
