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

          "The Lounge is a place where you can discuss anything that takes your fancy." It is for people to talk about things that are going on in their life. Ravel obviously feels the need to tells us this as part of accepting who he is. The least you can do is offer a bit of support for what is a difficult but important statement.

              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.

                OK. I feel it important to announce that I'm heterosexual. I'm a guy who loves women. Thank you for your support. Why should his being gay matter? To anyone. It's a private matter that is his business. He shouldn't be treated any differently than anyone else.

                    I could never be gay. I couldn't stand men rejecting me as well as women.

                    Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

                              I agree, thats why he is coming out, so he can be treated fairly by himself.

                                      Interesting. You assume I have something against being gay. You're a very assuming guy. Your mind reading faculties need to be adjusted.

                                      If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader." - John Quincy Adams
                                      You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering” - Wernher von Braun

                                      Incorrect. I assumed you responded to him thinking everyone else felt the way you did about his announcement, specially since there was no need to respond rudely to him. So what if he expected a medal?

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

                                        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).
