Very nicely said...
and in a very few words explains alot about the need to "come out" to those around me....

It just feels better being around people who know who I truely am...

Like in my previous post...
or friend Steve knows.. and of course M and our son know..
It was just sooo much nicer to be around them later in the day...
than it was to be around the family at the dinner table who don't
have a clue...

so. for my Birthday.. I have learned something..
the WHY.. in comming out..

I mean... I have known for some time now that I needed to have
people who are close to me that KNOW.... who I am...
but today it really came home..
The "family" does not know.. and I felt isolated being around them..
Later in the day... with friends who do know me...
I felt so much more comfortable..

Thanks TAY
