    One of the things I appreciate about this site is that I can talk about and share things I can't with no one else, except one person and my "ex." For the most part, CA is the closest that I will be "out," and I'm mostly fine with that. I've heard of how liberating coming out...or just being open about who you are...is and how it may be good for ones overall peace of mind. But I've also heard of stories about how coming out has done the obvious thing, as far as family and friends are concerned...and I've heard stories about how coming out affects people in the workplace, in certain professions, and just generally, in certain social circles.

    Of the ten people who still call me mentor, one is a black man who is openly gay. He recently expressed to me that, while he was happy he came out, he wished he hadn't done it so young, if at all. He became aware of how people treat him differently (in subtle ways that he can detect), and expressed concern about whether or not he would be able to thrive in an office full of "All-American Men."

    Of those of you who have "told your truth" to someone or the world, have you regretted it? Why?

    I don't usually tell folks that I play for a different team. Those I have told, I did so because I did not want them in my life anymore so I tell them and stop speaking to them. Making it seem like I am ashamed or something, while that's totally not it.
