Coming out of the closet

I'm gay. Not a hugely interesting revelation, I freely confess, so I shan't go on about it.
+5 for having the guts to say it.

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?

dinner. It matters not at all.

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

Really?

Have you never been on here when a new female turns up? There is plenty of 'announcing' going on.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

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. ;)

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

It is more comfortable to sit on with her tail?

There was an open mic last night, nobody was really in a great mood. I'm not sure if others can verify, but at least in a major city like Chicago, there was a solemn mood pretty much everywhere. I, for one, think laughter is the best therapy.
