My world is already there.
Silly man. Silly competition.
Two points of semi skimmed please.
Anyone who thinks its 'essential' to have a coming out needs to rethink their life philosophy.
At the age of 71, I've probably done more than most Fridae members but one thing I decided very early on was to live my life to MY rules and not to please anyone else (my family included). I'm lucky to have a loving family all of whom accept me for who and what I am and I've never had to hide my sexuality, let alone announce it in a 'coming out'.
If you live your life to the full, help as many people as you can along the way and aim for personal happiness then you will be demonstrating to all that you are comfortable with yourself and they will know from the beginning that you are your own man. They either accept that or reject it but in the end, you are the one that matters.
You can't love anyone else unless you love yourself first.
You must be labelled and put in a box!!! You shall conform!

Good on you.
We are all individuals and must remain so.
