I wanted to clip this to say that I think it's a very personal thing to come out. Lord knows I was in the closet as a bisexual woman for a long time, and still am to a great degree for several reasons. One is personal safety. One is that that it's really nobodies business. And it would be nice if everyone had that kind of attitude, but ppl don't and on a totally different level it's so personally freeing to unchain that bondage that keeps something inside you that feels so dishonest from others. You really can't be yourself until you are yourself, and hiding that very important part of yourself is very hurtful and destructive to the essence of who you are. But you do it to protect the people you love from inflicting societies pain upon them. I can understand why some people wouldn't want to come out. It's safe; even if it does slowly destroy you. So, I'll leave the judgment to the pundits. That's what they do best

Amen, my sister and fellow Deborah.

Off topic, debbyski, where is TN? Are you guys friends in the real world? I miss her clips and comments!

Hey Deb, as usual you express your thoughts in an intelligent, thoughtful and totally honest manner. I too was in the closet for many years. I was actually married twice to two different women, before I finally decided to live my life honestly. I can sincerely say that my life finally began in full at the age of 35 when I shirked off the yoke of sexual oppression. As you know, I got married on August 31 to the man with whom I have shared my life for 26 years. Now Arnold is not only my partner, but he is my legally wedded husband, as I am his. What a wonderful country Canada is when it comes to social issues. I DO hope the U.S. catches up with us soon.

Hey Dulios!

You just gimme two seconds and I'll kick that TN's arse before I go to work and get her clipping again Every once in a while I have to do that you know! NOW TN, I know you've been busy, but but enough is enough. Get your bad assed self back to clipping again, before I come and get you and kick that cute behind of yours! There are people around here who miss you!

And yes, Dulios, that handsome man is cabanaben with my oldest daughter who just had to move away from home (my oldest daughter; not cabanaben, but he's probably thought about it a time or two, haha) and break my heart--progressive that she is--damnit this is what I get for raising t...

@Zasel:

Wow, I didn't know you were married twice to two different women!
Thinking about that in general, I'd say most of the gay women I've known in person in a certain age range are or have been married to a man. I've seen some of them get rid of that sexual bondage that society thrust upon them. The bad part is the pressure these women are under to "do the right thing" often causes someone else to be hurt and it's always so sad. But the beautiful part is seeing them become the person they were always meant to be. I'm happy you had the courage to find that person Zasel; it is a huge statement to your fortitude in times that were so different from now. I wish you many more years ...

You ain't got nuthin' on me, woman! You are SO competitive! *LOL* And as for Kenny? Was it you or I who caused the poor boy's demise? (not to mention 4 of his mates.) Hmm? Which also goes to show, Americans can't handle their liquor either!!

Poor Kenny. Poor debs. Hahahahaha
