Kimberley, it is so sad to read that your recent bad experience has had such an effect on your CD lifestyle.
Over the last few years you have been a significant contributor here and your posts and video clips are always so positive and lively. It has been amazing to see your journey from tentative new member to somebody who is confident and bold about going out to enjoy life. You have provided inspiration to others here who may one day wish to come out of the closet and i hope that your decision to stop does not become permanent.
Living in a different part of the world, i do not pretend to understand the social climate where you are. All i can say is this: It may be instinctive for some to defy the haters and carry on going there, but if you truly feel that it could be dangerous then you are right to avoid the place from now on. Safety is always priority.
There always remains the possibility that in time a new venue may open in your part of the world which Kimberley can enjoy safely.
Whatever you decide, remember that it doesn't automatically have to be an irreversible decision, and please, please don't purge! You will probably regret it later.
I truly hope that you will be able to share good news with us here in the future. Take care!
