I guess it just goes to show that you just never REALLY know about people; even the people you have known for many years. I was outed by my own family members, even though they knew about me for most of my life. They did it out of vengence, which hurt even worse. I will keep your friend in my prayers and hope he can get through this without much collateral damage to his life. It can be a frightening and really damaging thing to be outed like that. Man, I hope his relationship with his YF dosen't suffer from it, but that might be hoping for too much, unfortunately. Let us know how things are going with him when you find out, ok?
