Coming out of the closet
-
I don't think it matters to anyone but him, but why should it matter less than the fact that Michael Martin had egg sandwiches for dinner? Edit: I didn't downvote either of your posts.

Then why the need to announce it? (It's not as if we didn't already know given the way he's responded to other postings.) He should keep it to himself. You don't find heterosexuals going around announcing do you?

I'm gay. Not a hugely interesting revelation, I freely confess, so I shan't go on about it.
So that was what that extension cord leading to the closet was for. :)

No, it was rude.
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.
Saying "I don't care, it matters not to me" is rude? OK, whatever.

Political, have you tried telling your mother? Diplomacy is required. Although when my friend Biggles came out, he stood in the pub and said "I just need to clear the air and let you all know that I am gay". We all stood, shocked. Shocked that he felt he had to tell us, we all knew.

Have you never been on here when a new female turns up? There is plenty of 'announcing' going on.

I had to tell my Mother (a Labour Party political activist of many years standing), that I had joined the Tory Party, and was on several committees. She said she knew that I was that way inclined, but had decided not to raise it as it would lead to embarrassment all round. She was even more appalled when I stood in the elections earlier this year, for my name was on the list and her Commie-Trotskyite chums would know!

+5 for having the guts to say it.

Actually you do, in indirect ways, such as posting pictures of men groping the breasts of a female passenger.

LOL. As if that's in any way comparable.

I'll be mature here. Congrats, I recently came out to the Lounge as a struggling comedian, which I have learned, is often as difficult and awkward to tell people. Did you recently come out in your life, too? Or is this just a CP outing? I shared a room with a gay dorm-mate in college, who was closeted, he knew that I knew, but I could see it was not easy. Also, where is your italicized quote in your profile from?

Congratulations. I never did figure out the proper way to respond to a revelation like that... Granted, I live in a very liberal area, so it's really a non-issue here.
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

You told us all a while ago you were Bi, and that has never been an issue. I have argued and moaned with you, and have blasted you for being dim, offensive, wrong etc. But I have never felt the need to raise your sexuality as an issue. Being French, yes, that was a choice!

No not really. But, if he had mentioned it casually, not made it the subject of a thread, then I wouldn't object.
Fat__Eric wrote:

Indirectly mentioning it or showing it is ok. It's only natural to be who you are.

I have never done this and I would object to anyone posting this as well.

Great! Does that mean you can advise me on soft furnishings? ;) :-O Sorry, you know I have to turn everything into a joke! I'm pleased that you felt OK to tell us, I think that must have been tough. Nothing will change for me. :rose: ... except maybe the odd cushion question. ;)
