I knew that it was coming up but wasn't sure when. Not sure if Canada has a National Coming Out Day or not...

I'm out but can't remember what day or month it was -- If I thought long and hard I might be able to come up with the year -- it was a long gradual process or series of steps.

It was one of the best things that I ever did.

Staying in the closet was starting to have serious health problems for me. It also alowed me to take back my life and just be me.

When my old family doctor realized that I was gay he wouldn't do anything for me. Fortunately my partner and friends found me a doctor that was gay friendly and because I'm out to him we're able to talk about health issues more openly.
