Plus with my career I would not only lose my job, and my ability to support my kids....but I would prob end up with a dishonorable discharge so I would be screwed for the rest of my life.
Wohh that is extreme.... and I think highly intolerant too.
When I came out to family fortunately they did not take it so bad. My mother is still not ok to talk about it but she is accepting. My sister has accepted though. I think the biggest thing is 'ridicule' and to explain to so many people why's and when's and hows. Once I told to one of my friends. She disappeared for two years out of sight. I dont want to take that risk anymore.
Wifey is totally accepting though.
Another taboo is being labelled 'gay'. Nothing wrong with it but it needs more explanation . So if CD explanation is X , CD + not gay = 2x.
Also walking in open all dressed up is no no with all creepy guys around you.
But with time I guess I will open up more than I can today. I dont care that much.
