This was a poignant post. I can't...Hi, Debra! This was a poignant post. I can't begin to imagine how difficult it must be to come to the realization that one is gay and then to have to come out to be yourself openly. I've had a nephew on each side of my family grapple with that in the last decade. I remember when I was last going to church regularly. Our minister, paster, priest ~ whatever ~ beat his 17 year old son up after he told his father he was gay. The minister had to leave the church not too long after that. That does not mean that the church was welcoming to gay people, just that they felt for appearances sake they had to let the minister go. It was intolerance and hate toward gay people that largely drove me from the church, that and the push to impose their religious ideas on others through the ballot box. Kudos to you for finding your courage and not forever wandering in the back of a wardrobe looking for Narnia.

Although it is still really difficult for many in certain regions. I can't imagine what it may be like to not be yourself in day to day life.

I know it must have been difficult back then. It was difficult for my brother, but he could never tell our parents. At least I could be there for him and I am glad I was. Life is tough enough without everyone else throwing their two cents worth of judgement on you. <br />My only personal objection to women being lesbians is that it removed them from the potential dating pool and with someone like me the pool isn't very deep. On the other hand, it takes the pressure off of some great friendships. <br />Happy 30th!Jonohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18170214396483091419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666990364305390259.post-462956005633532542017-06-06T11:27:15.079-06:002017-06-06T11:27:15.079-06:00Every one of our years should be spent becoming mo...Every one of our years should be spent becoming more gay.<br /><br />I am so glad that coming out has gotten easier. And I am thankful for those who found the bravery to do it when saying who one was and "easy" could not even be comfortably placed in the same sentence.

Some just like drama but the people who really cared probably wanted to know to laugh and point. Like Barry Manilow, he came out not long ago and everyone was like "...okay" and even older people I knew did not care AT ALL either way.
