I'm wondering how far people would be willing at the moment to go to protect their being in the closet. And how far they think it would be acceptable to go and at what point something becomes unacceptable.
For example not being out, just not telling everyone, not telling anyone out of the family, not telling anyone at all, lying when asked, avoiding the subject and not defending other CDs/TSs etc in public, publicly condemning CDs etc and beyond...
There's many points people might go to and not go to.
And peoples judgement on those could vary substantially depending on circumstances and local laws and consequences actual or imagined as well as degree of self acceptance.
I think it's safe to say that all of us would say they wouldn't murder someone to protect their secret (I sure hope that's true!) so then where is your line, and where do you think the line should be?
