...................Grame said it perfectly for me, except I'm ten years older then he. But the exception is I did finally come out to my brothers and sister about 5 years ago, and my daughter later, none of them cared. I never came out to my parents nor my wife. It mattered little as I was pretty much faithful for our entire 30 years together. I'm so glad I never saw that Mike Wallace report, I would have been 14 when it aired, it would have scarred me at the time. I knew about the social implications only from school, we abandened the religious aspect after my mother remarried years earlier (62-63) following my father's death in 1960. This generation does not know have much more easier they have it then we did, we had to either 'conform' or stay in the closet back then.
