Like I said, I was feeling protective of him, because of my own first-hand experiences (and those of more than one friend) with trying to make sense of the confliction between what some of us are raised to believe and what we feel in our hearts.

You are right about breathing room, but he seems not to want it so much just now. He seems to want to talk. And I think many people have been helping with that. But still. Perhaps that is a good point. I have never been gay.
Except that one time in Highschool when my mom asked me if I was a lesbian - because I didn't have a BF...
Awkward.
I appreciate your compassion gleaned from your own experiences. You may have something extra to offer, too, because you are Catholic.
But still, member when he was an ass? right in this thread??
Yes, yes, Dissention is very sweet. To Brn Eyes.
You know if he continues to make political statements in the same vein as he has, that there will be arguments, though. But I think now we both agree, as far as just the gay thing goes, people have been pretty supportive.
"pretty supportive"
God, is there a "gayer" place to come out??!?!? I would doubt it! You practically get a VIP pass to....something...if you are gay here...
