Re: 'Coming Out'

I never get angry when I'm typing, always ruins my nail varnish on the keys.

Gays are well accepted now - so why do they keep on about it - huh ?
I guess if some people have kept their sexual preferences secret (in some instances because they may have only just come to terms with it themselves) they might wish to make it known publicly before some smart alec reporter decides to 'make a thing' about it.

Re: 'Coming Out'

There seem to be so many known homosexuals nowadays, in the future we might have to "come out" and admit to being heterosexual !

Well they don't keep on about it do they? If they are coming out then it is the first time they have mentioned it in public.

All it illustrates is that people feel safer about acknowledging their sexuality, a far cry from the days when 'pooftah bashing' held the status of an Olympic sport. Isn't that a good thing?

Just think of the state Britain might be in today if Alan Turing had not been hounded to his death by authorities and public opinion but had been celebrated for the genius he was.
