[quote=Anonymous]Honestly.  Sometimes I find it helps bigoted jerks not make themselves sound like bigoted jerks in public fora. Few things are more awkward than having someone spew nonsense in a room full of people at least half of whom know I am queer and then having the person find out/realize that they are spewing nonsense abt me, who happens to be their supervisor, kid's classmate's parent, neighbor, etc. Basically, I am providing you the opportunity to stay closeted by not being closeted. Second, and more importantly, it's just part of who I am, my family structure, my reality, etc. I am not ashamed of it and just as I would reveal growing up in a particular place, or ethnic origin, or my love of some food, it may just come up in conversation. It has absolutely nothing to do with whether you are "cool" with it. Lastly, I like to make others, who may not have yet come out or are questioning, feel safe around me. One easy way to do that is to be comfortable and open about who I am. You do not have these feelings likely bc you are in the majority and bc when people assume you are straight, you are. [/quote]
