And by out I mean willing for anyone to know you're gay, not that you need to be necessarily proclaiming it at every opportunity. But also not playing the pronoun game. Not correcting assumptions that you're straight. Joining in on the which famous person do you fancy conversations at work.

So often on here I read posts by people who say they don't want to tell colleagues, friends etc about being gay. And an in a lot of cases those people imply, suggest, downright claim to be happy, confident etc in their sexuality.

So why the hiding? Surely if you're out you should be out. No half measures, no almost theres. No little bit pregnants.

We have to challenge society to fully accept homosexuality. Staying in the closet in certain situations only helps to provide opportunities for snide, insidious low level homophobia. And no doubt creates a breeding ground for a whole lot more explicit hatred.

but in some indistries it can be hard for some to be the martyrs for the whole cause, and lay a path down for others so many find it easier to stay hidden but happy.

Its a choice thy make - we must accept it if we all stand for equality - never push someone to do something they are not comfortable with.

but i do see your cause
