There are a number of open people here, I don't think anyone is closeted, unless they choose to be. Implying that one must hide ones self on the TE boards is ludicrous.

I seem to remember some pretty unkind things being said in the Prop. 8 thread. Maybe I'm misremembering, it's been a while ago, and I'm sure those who were the target of the remarks and the Proposition remember it better than I, who was neither.
And who knows what kind of PMs Trek and others might have received.
I think in any case, if someone says she's been discriminated against, "no you haven't" isn't the appropriate response.
I guess that would be a tip for lph. If your friend comes to you distraught because someone's reacted badly to her coming out, don't call her "ludicrous."

Just be her friend
HI!
I don't see any huge difficulties here. She was your friend before she came out to you and that hasn't changed. Just an extra hug and an "I'm happy,if you are happy" is all it takes. As a gay woman who was never "in" I never had to come out
One's sexual orientation is but a small part of the whole person.Just keep on keeping on with the friendship and I think all will be well! Shad

some of us spend years learning a language and then taking a trip to finally find people like themselves. I can absolutely definitely understand why people might want to hang out in gay bars, or women's cycling forums or exclusive men's clubs where old f@rts can sit around drinking booze and smoking stogies.
TxDoc, I guess you need to go somewhere where YOU are the only one who...
speaks your language, shares your religion, has your skin color, or sexual orientation, and stay there for a week and then you will discover the instant comfort of finding someone LIKE YOURSELF.I like Bikes - Mimi

total derailment
lol, they've never been to a resort that's hosting the annual Brotherhood of Skiers convention... lordy, what a party...."Why are you staring? What's the matter? You've never seen a Black man skiing before?" Everyone laughed, but it was so true. People were staring at him, because they probably never had seen a Black person skiing...
