Discretion is the better part of valour

Coming out is important. I rejected my sexuality for so many years because I had no role models. After I came to terms with being gay in 1996, I wanted to make a difference for other people by making myself visible, telling my story

Sounds very much like the advice I've been given right along. Oppotunity will present itself, with circumstances just right.

Glad this worked out so well for you my friend!!

Yeah, 1996 was such a bombshell. It's a different experience for me to wait for opportunities this way.

i'm glad it worked out that way. it seems wise to me to wait till the moment is right.

The problem is, with some people the time is never right. I've spent most of my life hiding from people like that, and it's taken some toll.

You obviously made a wise choice. Forcing the moment to happen almost certainly would have been awkward at best. I too am happy for you! Hugs!

We have had opportunities to put items on the agenda at our meetings. It's something I could have done several weeks ago if I had realized how important it was. But for now, coming out to a couple of people is what I needed, better than giving up.
