Then why the need to announce it?
Then why the need for the lounge? Its only purpose is to serve as a kind of life blog for CPites.

You don't find heterosexuals going around announcing do you
Actually you do, in indirect ways, such as posting pictures of men groping the breasts of a female passenger.
============================== Nothing to say.

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

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.

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?

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

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. ;)

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.

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?
Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)Well, I think that response will suffice. :)

There has to be a joke there somewhere, I just can't get it tidy enough.

I'm not sure if "Ravel" is a male or female name, so I'm going to assume you are a man. You could not have picked a better profession short of being a football player. In all seriousness, I have several gay coworkers. It's not a big deal (at least 'round these parts).

That's why I didn't write a long message.

OK. Yes, I'll give you snarky. But it certainly wasn't rude.
