    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!

        I'm gay. Not a hugely interesting revelation, I freely confess, so I shan't go on about it.

              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.

                  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.

                                      Bi - No probs Dim - we all are from time to time. Offensive - Regularly, like me. Wrong - Wait a moment...
