She actually did me a favor. I figured it was about time. My parents were totally accepting.

Do you think all gays feel that way?

Does this ring at all true, to you or people you've known:

Being outed as a gay man is a deeply violating experience, often characterized by overwhelming stress, panic, and a profound loss of safety and control. It forces a personal aspect of identity into the public eye without consent, frequently leading to fear of rejection from family, friends, or employers.

Every outing is unique to the person themselves. Some need help while others prefer to announce themselves. And then there are many who never come out and just remain closeted marrying and having a family. I encountered many of those in the Navy. It's entirely up to the individual.

Is it up to the individual if someone violates their consent and outs them? Is it okay to make that life-altering decision for them?

Depends on the person. For me it was fine. For others maybe not.

Do you get to decide that for others?

Why do you ask? Did I out you? Or are you just trying to find fault with me as usual to boost your intimidated ego with?

Is it a hard question? Would someone have had been okay outing you, even if it didn't turn out so well, seriously upset your life, and caused you severe fear and a loss of safety?

You answered my question. You are just interrogating me so I will slip up and then you can malign me again to make yourself feel superior.. It's your one favorite obsession with the possible exception of Johnny Depp in a thong..
