Coming out
For a glimpse of why one person came out and a clue to the rest of us.
As usual, there is a complex background for this decision.
Some people think because there are so many open gay people are around that the individual is sheltered and can feel comfortable going through this process.
I do not think this is the case. We are still less than ten percent. We do not want, initially, to be gay. Mostly.
That changes fast incidentally when we can have the good fortune to have our first gay experience.
For a gay man, there is nothing like this. I suppose straight men have similar awakenings but for a gay man it is a series of revelations that involve much more than the sex part. Which is so fantastic in and of itself it becomes well worth it to explore the rest of it, the culture, the fellowship, the life, as well.
Very smart. In the intelligence sense.
