Wouldn't it be nice if you didn't have to hide this from:
- your parents while growing up
- your employer
- your spouse?

Even if you NEVER go out in public, wouldn't it be worth something to you to feel no shame or stigma?

Wouldn't it be nice if you could talk to potential partners about this, and have a reasonable expectation that they wouldn't find such an idea so weird that they never consider dating you, even if they would actually get along fine with you?

Wouldn't it be nice if potential partners didn't feel that a relationship with you required THEM to either:
- be closeted as well about your CDing
- come out

A lot of you on this forum seem pretty miserable and desperate to me. Do you really think that lives in a world that accepted you, where you could be open about who you are, would be worse than the lives you lead now?

Unfortunately, if you want acceptance, you will have to make a stand for it.

But yeah, other than an open, free, and authentic life - this is a totally useless idea. Forget I said anything!
