Schofield Comes Out As Gay

[TheDevil]

A bit of a surprise but at the same time not! Lovely that he feels he can be his true self.

//You think so? It'd be braver to come out as heterosexual today//

Urrrgh, that's disgusting. You straights just have to rub it in our noses don't you? ;-)

I suppose that's him finally out of the broom cupboard then.

Why is coming out seen as "making such a fuss about it" ? As if it SHOULD be kept hidden...because, after all, *we* really don't want to know about it...
Maybe because the person coming out has a strong need and desire to not hide...to be honest about who they are. Is that really so hard to comprehend?
Guess so...going by some of the comments.

I knew you wouldn't like my opinion TD, but like I said, I.don't.care. You, or anybody else who disagrees with me, can say what you like, it won't change my views, in fact it will make me more determined to express them - ok …..

i was rather surprised, why has it taken so long i wonder..

[Theland]

So that's why his garden is so tidy?

[emmie]

not sure i understand that Theland, can you explain

[Theland]

Tongue in cheek.
Gays noted for being fastidious.

[emmie]

ah ok mate..

[Theland]

I joke with my gay son about this and he really gets it :-)

[emmie]

i keep forgetting your son is gay,,,

[Theland]

I can't be gay, my room is like a tip :-)

[emmie]

as least you are supportive, some parents are not

[Theland]

Like Schofield, my son is very manly and does not fit any stereotypes, not that there is anything wrong with outward indicators but some are camp and effeminate and some not. But all are great.

[emmie]

as i said you are a good parent for being supportive to your son. I would be the same.

[Theland]

No sign of the Captain.
Maybe you should launch the ship Emmie?

[emmie]

no wait for a bit he will along soon..
