Make some gay friends, and ask them how they came out - I'm sure a lot of others have had hardships coming out to family/friends.

Quit generalizing. Many homosexuals go unnoticed as the only difference is their sexual preference.
You have obviously never been to Buckhead.

You're quite a comedian.

You come out of the closet by fully becoming a i love you by letting people know and becoming openly gay. (George Carlin is right about that, it's the only way you can use that word, openly: openly gay. You don't hear people calling someone openly black or whatever)

hehehe.. Love that album! Collin Powell is openly white, he just happens to be black.

If you are serious, go here (PlanetOut) and follow the links . . . will answer most of your questions

(it is a mature and serious site for the deviant bunch)

I think the link is right now . . .edited

😕

Are you agreeing with me, or are you addressing me?
Kinda both . . . I am expanding on your reply. . . instead of making new "friends" (you can go WAY wrong, gay or straight) first LEARN - from a reliable source from the experiences of others - hence my link . . . for ANYone interested.

Ah, gotcha.

If I ever feel the urge to be homosexual out of the blue, now I know where to look . . ..

Thanks(I guess?)!

You're welcome . . . I guess . . . I guess you might get 'the urge' . . .

. . . depending on how long your prison sentence is. 😉

hrm .. usually "the closet" is a one way mirror. When you're in the closet, everyone already knows and they just wait outside for you to come out. They just play it cool when you admit it. They already know.

I wonder if any homosexuals ever come out of the closet and turn straight?

I don't believe so. I remember watching some tv thing about homosexuals who "converted", but the people they presented were obviously still homosexual and were either kidding themselves or attempting to delude people around them. Homosexuality is an orientation that's hardwired into your brain; not something you can change on a whim.

Occasionally . . . look for them on the talk show circuit and as "prime exhibits" of the born again ministers. 😉
