Thanks for your compliments and prayers! My example has been a BL friend for whom coming out seems to have become old hat. He has come out to several family members, friends, colleagues, and people at church. For me the process has been: meet fellow BLers anonymously on the internet meet them in person "come out" to non-judgmental non-BLers anonymously on the internet meet them in person (people who are not part of my everyday real life) come out to one non-BLer in real life (my pastor) For now, I'm not feeling a need to go farther, but that may change. My prayers and thoughts are with you as you consider meeting non-BLers. Mark |
