I agree 100%! Come out wherever you are. ...David,<br /><br />I agree 100%! Come out wherever you are. Like you I lost a job (two actually) because I had the temerity to not deny who I was just for the sake of keeping my job. If I had it to do all over again I would do exactly what I did because my self-respect is more important than any job. The only time I stayed in the closet was when I was in the Army and was assigned to the NSA, where a top security clearance was necessary. I didn't want to lose my job and get a Section 8 discharge from the Army which would affect the rest of my life (I used VA benefits to this day). As soon as I got out and got that yoke of oppression off of my shoulders I came out. Everyone should come out. If you lose some friends or relatives so what? They weren't your friends anyway and the relatives? They have to deal with it, it's their problem not mine. Good for you David by coming out and urging others to do the same.<br />RonRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161930319264523497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16253353.post-84013845323658297272014-10-12T02:24:30.799-04:002014-10-12T02:24:30.799-04:00Lucky man.Lucky man.Ur-spohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04237644452200889946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16253353.post-67863252205991011512014-10-11T15:41:28.088-04:002014-10-11T15:41:28.088-04:00spouse and I will do #22 this coming friday; you a...spouse and I will do #22 this coming friday; you and your cute man have been together as long as we have!<br /><br />rollins college - that's where mister rogers went to school!
