It's "National Coming-Out Day" !!! How 'Out' are you? [View all]

There's been no part of my life that has been closeted since i was a late teenager... in the South... in the mid '80s.

That's just the way i've always lived my life... no closets... no bullshit.
And i was lucky enough to have parents and other relatives -- as well as close friends -- who stood by me unconditionally.

Not everyone ~can~ be so open...
