came out at 37 after a marriage. people online act like late bloomer means 50+ or that you need a dramatic divorce montage.
is there an actual definition or is it just "later than the teen coming-out script."

no cut-off. it's community slang for figuring it out later than the media story. 30, 40, 60, whatever.

good. i was worried i was "early late" which is a stupid anxiety to have.
Kendra
early late is not a category. delete that from your brain.

the phrase is solidarity, not a purity test about how long you suffered.

out at 29 and still lurk late bloomer threads because the feelings match. labels are tools.
