"Coming out" and "being out" can easily be considered two different things. Both can be stressful, whether to the negative or the positive side. "Ustress" is a thing for real and so like the stress of a new marriage, new home, new child. Anyway, what I want to say is that I have found little to no desire to engage in "coming out" much over the years but I have had a GREAT time being out specifically to advocate and support LGBTQI+ culture. Even if in serving as a role model to my community that we are just as capable of constructive contribution to civilization as anyone else. I don't really put too much thought into being an LBGT advocate. I just "am." In the end, it's about a human BEING more than how things appear or are perceived/judged. Love wins!
Life's too short to miss an opportunity to show your love and affection!
